Tire Sizes

O.K....I'm thouroghly confused here. I'm in the amrket for tires for 88 245, and the manual lists a tire size of 185SR14 for this car. My confusion is what profile size does this compare to, and why doesn't anyone seem to stock it. I'm guessing its somewhere between a 195/75r14 and a 185/80r14. I read somewhere that this might be an "82" profile(i.e. 185/"82"r14).

The car now has 195 70R14's on it now and has a VERY harsh ride with new shocks/struts and front and rear bushings all around. I'm hoping a higer profile tire will soften the ride a bit.

Thanks,

Chris Hewitt
