Tyre Replacement?

Hello,

I need to replace the 165 SR 14 tyres on my 1973 100 GL saloon as they date from the 1970's!
Is 165/70/14 the correct modern equivalent?

Hello,
As far as I know, the closest equivelent tyre dimension is 165/80/14. There are plenty of additional indicators for load weight or other tyre's characteristics...
Can you tell us if these old tyres you are going to replace are the FACTORY installed tyres or not?
Manufacturer and type?

Hi Theo,

I don't know if they are the original tyres
The brand is Firestone 165/SR/14
