165 is width of tyre
65 is height of tyre from rin to top (profile)
R dont mean anything
14 is wheel diamter in inch's

Well all depends on quality of tyre and how you use them, whats the top speed of the car

R means Radial ply tyre, its how its constructed, its stronger.
Pretty sure you can get 165/50/ R14, but it will be quite expensive, think toyo do them in the T1R's.
