Hi guys.Just a thought but I'm thinking of running 205mm tyres on my clones. Is it safe? Or just a pointless thought  Had a quick search and couldn't find much. All advice welcome. ________________________________________ Team Nile 6 Team: 40.2 MPG  5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™  I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness  |

Why are you wanting to do it? Its perfectly safe to do so but you would be restricting your tyre options (they'd also be more expensive) for no real benefit as far as i can see________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |

bit pointless really, cyclones are only 6" wide so they'll flop about a bit, and 205 width tyres cost more, they're heavier too.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

What about on a 7 inch wheel like team dynamics? Better grip or no?________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

in a 15 probably still best sticking to 195, but on a 16" where the sidewall is lower at a 45 profile then a 205 will work.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Thanks for the reply guys. It was just a thought really and due to your answers I will not bother. Just fancied a wider tyre but I understand what you are saying about it might flop about a bit. ________________________________________ Team Nile 6Team: 40.2 MPG 5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™ I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness |
