Tyre size - Help!!

Tusc_si · Post by **Tusc_si** » Sat Apr 12, 2008 9:09 am

Hi all,

This is my last attempt at finding some 185/50 15's for my new Ronal Turbo's.

I've looked every where and can't find anyone that sell's them, can anyone help or point me to where I can get them? I'd like a little stretch but not anything big as the car is used daily.

If I can't find this size I'll just have to stick to 195/45 15's

Can't say I've seen any 185/50/15 tyres anywhere! Take it you have searched places like mytyres and/or blackcircles on the web?

Cheers

Tried looking for 165/50s?

195/45/15's look fine on a 7x15, there was a very subtle amount of stretch, but nothing too insane.

Getting the appropriate sized tyres means that you will actually get some decent tyres other than ditchfinders in an obscure size. I recommend Uniroyals or Avons in that size.

Yeh that's true.

Although 165s looks sweet

I have and they are not too hard to get hold of, although I'm just concerned about using them daily.

Should I be??

I wouldn'tve thought so, the car I displayed above is James' (Bepe) old car, drop him a line and see what he says about them
