Tyres

[Guest snips]

Hi - I need to fit a set of tyres to my RH supplied 2B alloys, but I'm not sure what size or make would be best for me. RH seem to recommend 205/50/15, but I gather 195 or 185 widths are commonly used. I would appreciate any info or advice on this subject. I expect to do relatively low mileages, hopefully in the dry (ha ha!). [18 months in and still drilling and grinding].

 

Cheers, Will from Sussex. (snips)

I Have 195's on my RHE supplied alloys

A, because i only have the standard wings (205's stick out to far)

B, because 195/50/15's are alot cheaper than 205's

try prices at

i have 185 65 14 on my RH supplied alloys, they are uniroyal rallye's if i remeber correctly they came from britannia tyres and cost me nearly £250 for 5, which i didnt think was bad

hope this helps

205/50's look the part but are too big for the standard front and rear wings...

I have a nice set of sticky directional Avon's fitted - can't remember how much they cost though....

225/45/17. Looks great with directional toyo Proxy T1's. Bit pricy at £983 though. Needed the wider wings though.
