Title: Tyre Size help
Post by: robw09 on 03 January 2017, 07:48

Hey guys, happy New year to everyone!

I fancied trying some of Michelin's new crossclimate tyres.  However, they don't come on the tyre profile I currently have (195/50 R15) on my mk 2 gti. They come in either a 185/55 R15 or a 195/55 R15.  My understanding is that the 185/55's were also factory spec and that going to a 195/55 will mean my Speedo is out by about 4% under.

My questions are

Anyone else using a Michelin all season tyre?
If I was to go for them, what size would be best?

Cheers
