Have been told that I need to put 190/65 hr 390 on my trx alloys
I wanted to know can i not put 195/65/14 or any other modern day tyres

If you buy 14" wheels, then yes you can fit 14" tyres.

Really the TRX alloys will be a nightmare to get tyres for as almost sure nobody makes them anymore., long term your best option is different wheels.

Even last time I bought some over 18 years ago, only remoulds were available.

There are loads of wheels about these days in 5x112 that you can use as replacements.

Some new tyres here...I presume these prices are per tyre.

I remember the old 5 series bmws around k reg, they used to come into work for mot and fail on a couple of tyres and nearly wrote the car off due to the price. Used to source second hand wheels that were none metric I think they were called, long time ago mind!

Yep, BMW did use some for a while too, there were various sizes.

They never took off.

The TRX wheels were they not 15's?? It's been a few years since I've owned and parted with my granadas I forget now. I had the merc melbas on mine towards the end which were 15's

almost certain metric tyres are unique and were a in between of our now used wheel sizes in inches so 14 /15s wont work, I had them on my mk2 back in the day (see pic of it) and ditched them like many for some 5 spoke merc rims later down the line when tyres wore out plus like charlie the 5 spokes looked better anyway back then

heres my old plodder when I bought it back in the early 90s sporting the dreaded trx alloys

190/65 hr 390

As the tyre says, 390mm diameter. Not 15", not 16", closer to 15 3/8"

I'm sure there is probably enough metal that someone could lathe the wheel down to suit a 15" tyre, but clearly that does carry risks.
