  1. Dave,   Remind us of what wheel diameter and section you need. In some sizes you don't get much choice these days.   Michael

  3. Don't run 165 x 14 on a Marlin! Run 185 x 14 all round or 175 x 14 on the front and 185 x 14 on the back. Technically you could run 165 x 14 on the front and 185 x 14 on the back (ACTC rules on not more than two tyre sizes) but I don't recommend it in case you puncture a 'front' and need to run odd sizes (which I have done once to finish a trial).   As regards what's good - it's whatever you can get. Look at the ACTC tyre list and read my website (www.wheelspin.org.uk) although the 'Wheels and Tyres' page could do with a bit of updating.   Good luck   Andrew
