Tyre sizes?

[Overseer]

What are the standard sizes of tyres for a mk3 16v ? (and does it differ from a normal gti or a vr6?)

i ask because my car still has the original alloys, but on the front its got 195 (not sure what the other part is) , and on the back 205 something

these sizes are 'normal' in that i was able to find the pressures for them here in the haynes book..

what 205/195 combination yields the same rolling width? (i mean the percentage part?)

what effect is having a difference on the front/back going to make?

Standard size for 8v, 16v and VR6 are 205/50/15. Although I think that before '96 the tyres were 195's on the same rims.

Cant help with the rest though sorry.

ok thx, that sounds just like whats on the back

once i'm home i'll see what exactly was on the front, definitely 195/somethng.

just wondering if this is good/bad
