I have been offered a pair of F1 tyres for £30 in very good nick. I currently run 195/45/16 and these tyres are 205/45/16.What difference does the 10mm make? Is it a bad idea to put them on? ________________________________________ Ex Astor 6 owner Also an Ex owner of a Bianca 6 Now an ex owner of a 2005 9-3 2.0T 210bhp Aero Swedish Saloon thing!!

A 205 45 is closest you'll get at 16" to the original tyre's circumference, that little bit of extra sidewall takes away some of the harshness you tend to get on 195 45.205's will sit quite nicely on a 7" wide rim too. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

You always there to help me with my car problems! Should just give me your phone number  Would it matter running 195 on the back 205 on the front? Or visa versa? ________________________________________ Ex Astor 6 ownerAlso an Ex owner of a Bianca 6 Now an ex owner of a 2005 9-3 2.0T 210bhp Aero Swedish Saloon thing!! Soon to be 250bhp....

I don't think it matters much but you will get an advisory on it, and it may cause the ABS to kick in a little earlier.Never tried it on an ABS car though ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
