Yokohama Tyre Wanted

[Guest marsbar]

Does anyone have a Yokohama A539 205 x 50 R15 that they want to part with?

It was the standard tyre that came with the 2B, I have scrubed off my 2 front tyres and I am strugling to get 205 at short notice so I can drive my car to Newark.

Obviously it would have to be in the North East.

As a compromise I can get a pair of Yokohama Parada Spec 2 but only in 195x 50 x 15, would these be OK on the front?

the spec 2 are a better tyre. so it wouldn't be a compromise but an upgrade.

They would be fine on the front.

You'll be fine with the narrower tyre on the front, as Marcus says better grip with a higher spec tyre so the drop in width won't be obvious. Lower rolling resistance too so you'll be going faster

Yokohama Parada Spec 2 now fitted.

They are not as tall as the last ones will have to watch front end over bumps.
