Well, as i am into carparts, and talk many times to experts (from FireStone, Michelin, Goodyear, Pirelli,...) they tolled me, that 185 is the thickness, 70 is the measure from street to wheel and 14 is the inch off course. And when they don't mension the middle one it means it's obvious. So you have a 70 now, only not mensioned by factory. Meaning made for cars that need 185/70/14 (like Mercedes with some models too!)
Anyway, meanwhile we are the proud owner of beautiful, save cars...
remaining, with kindest regards,
Fergus
