1.9 Tyres

[Lacko 0]

Hi all,

 

have trawled the forum and i cant find any topic that talks directly about this, but what tyres would you recommend on 1.9 alloys??

 

i think standard they run 185/55 but i was thinking push it a bit and get 195/55. I have a 1.6 atm and got the 1.9 wheels just dont know what size of tyre to go for!

 

any recommendation would be greatly appreciated

185/55 or 195/50 to keep the rolling radius and therefore gearing/ speedo as close as possible to standard

There's a better selection of tyres and at cheaper prices for 195/50R15, which is why many (most?) 205's with 1.9 wheels tend to run them.

 

There's loads of recommendation threads regarding tyre choice if you do a search - either Falken 912's or Hankook Ventus S1 Evo's getting my vote for sensible money, and Michelin PE2's are also very good if you can stretch to the extra.
