A-J 0 Posted December 27, 2006 I've had the C a month now and the tyres and rank. A couple of punctures seem the ideal time to get them replaced. The car currently has 15"x7J Borbet C's with 195/50 tyres, should I get the same size replacements or go for a slightly wider tyre to since the wheel is wider than standard?

Supercharged 2 Posted December 27, 2006 I think 195's are ok - must look slightly stretched... I'd go for 205's I think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M15 VW 0 Posted December 28, 2006 ive got 195/45s on my 7.5s. I also had 205/40s on them before and i like them bnoth. Just be careful which tyre you go for as it makes alot of difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A-J 0 Posted December 28, 2006 Just been looking for 205's and there isn't much choice. Looks like I'll stick to the 195's. Probably going to go for Uniroyal Rainsports. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted December 28, 2006 Rainsport 1's are great, especially for this time of year - you can get these in 205's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomD 0 Posted December 28, 2006 I've got 195-50-15's Goodyear Eagle F1's on my 7J 15" Wheels. My wheels are off a BMW and when I bought them they had 205-50-15's on, and looked really chubby. Mine are in no way low profile, but look much bette, and at £35 quid each, pretty cheap! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A-J 0 Posted December 28, 2006 There's much more choice with 195/50's, seems like the way to go! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
