Hi gents Can Any one throw some advice over tyre sizes Ive just picked up some cyclones with 205s on and 185s widths Am looking to replace them with a proper set of four But was wandering what difference the already fitted, with relation to performance n handling will have Cheers  ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

What corners have what widths? Ideally you want 185/195 on clones imo. And i would certainly keep the same sizes on all corners. But im not a tyre expert so someone else could tell you something different. Performance wise, you might be best with original tyres size but a better tyre.You can get better response with a lower profile but it will knock your spedo out of sync and give you a s**tty gap in your arches. ________________________________________ DIABLO GTI-6 - Legend - NILE GTI-6 - SoldCHERRY GTI-6 P1 SUPERCHARGED - Broken up BLACK RALLYE - Sold 205 Dturbo xud9 work horse - Dead CHERRY RALLYE - new toy |

original is 195/55/15 but I find for performance if your car is slightly lowered 195/50/15 is the size to run better in the corners less move on the sidewalls________________________________________ Team SUPERCHARGED I LIVE FOR THE 306 Old Project thread Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url = |

195/55/15 of you have standard ride height. depends what you want out of it. If your just driving it on the road and it's standard t1rs are more than good enough ________________________________________ Team SUPERCHARGED I LIVE FOR THE 306 Old Project thread Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url = |

certainly wouldn't be my first choice.Avon used to do their zv5 in a 55 profile, continental may do as well, michelin dont do a sport orientated tyre in a 55 unfortunately ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I was hoping I could recommend the Dunlop Sport BluResponse's however the wear rate on them is shocking, as it seems the fronts on my 6 have only managed 11k, and they're nearly down to the wear band! It seems a lot of folks over on TyreReviews.co.uk seem to agree the wear rate isn't brilliant. I don't exactly hoon it everywhere either.I think I'll opt for the Vredestein Sportrac 5's next time as they seem to be as good as the Dunlops except the wear is a lot more acceptable! ________________________________________ 2000 W Phase 3 Moonstone. |
