Help please with tryres for 16"alloys
« on: 29 October 2011, 13:46 »
Hi all picking up a set of v6 4motion 16" alloys however they dont have tyres.

Im looking to stick some winter tyres on and then paint my monty II's at the same time.

What size tyres should i/ can i get?

Dont do alot of miles which helps so dont need a really expensive pair or should i just get a good set of normal tyres? Will prob be using it in winter a lil more to get to work and back (although work is like 10mile drive)  :smiley:

Thanks

205/55/16 is the correct size to keep gearing / speedo spot on.

Try the likes of 'My tyres' and 'black circles' websites.
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.
