Hopefully a quick one.My car is currently running 195/55/15 on cyclones. Looking at some of the threads on here, I take it this was not standard.
What was the standard tyre size please? Was it 195/50/15?
Thanks

Standard was 195/55/15A load of people use 195/50 as you can get PS3s in that size and they are a lot cheaper in general. Obvioulsy theres a bit less sidewall and that effects the speddo a little so it will over read but its any by a very small amount ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |
