Bailey Senator Tyres

[PaulT]

Following the lurid tale told by a friend who had a blowout, I've decided to replace the tyres on my Senator Indiana 5. The manufacturing date on the tyre was shown as 2003 and the 'van is a 2005 - seems a long gap but I suppose they were in strage somewhere.
Anyway, I checked the tyre size in the handbook and they are shown as 185 R14 L104. The tyre wall details show 185 R14C 104/102N. What is missing is the tyre profile - other models in the Senator range are shown as 65 or 70 profile. Whenever I go online to get prices, the sites always ask for the profile which I don't know.
Can someone please tell me what profile the tyres are or point me in the direction of an online site which can give me a price.

When the profile is not shown its normally 80 but as the most likely tyres will be commercial vehicle one that section of a suppliers website will just show diameter, width and load rating. The C in the sidewall script stands for Commercil. I have my van on Firestone Vanhawks same size and LI as yours. Firestone are a Bridgestone subsidiary. Got them via an Internet supplier without any problems. The prices for good quality tyres are competitive so there is no need to buy obscure makes. I got mine from Blackcircles who have a good telephone helpline. The duo LI refers to use in a single axle or twin axle mode. Ie say a Transit with one wheel at each end of the axle or one with twin wheels at each side. On their website the Commercil vehicle C rated tyres have a logo of a lorry. But if you get the correct load rating you will be alright.

Thanks for your replies - all is clear now.
I needed an internet site 'cos I live in France and wanted to compare UK and French prices.
