tyres

i've got 4 pirellis

basically depends what takes your flavour, im running 175/50/13 bridgestone potenza, the added grip of the slightly wider tyres is absolute heaven

Knew i forgot something,

Currently running Pirelli P600's in 165/65/13 on standard alloys

Soz!

I had to change one of mine about a month ago now and i just bought the same as the what i had on already as i did not want to have a range of tyres on the car. I got a Pirelli P700 165/55/13 for £50.45 from tyre spot, i was well pleased with that price that inlcuded fully balance and fitted ontot the alloy. Regardless of what yopu get you would have to buy the same profile tyres though.

I got mine for £41.40 and got them fitted free

Just never got them balanced

That brings on the next question......
With the standard sporting alloys what width's can you run?

Sorry for all the questions just don't wanna fork out 100 odd quid on crap tyres.

all the way to 195 if u want, i had 185s mine -but now have 4x 175/50/13 bridgestone potenzas

Do they not just bulge over the sides or do the actually make a difference to grip?

my 185s were cheap tyres, so i can't really say. they seemed to grip very well for cheap tyres tho

nice one, what did u do to get them that cheap.

That was just the price, i didnt realise they were cheap when i bought them

Fitting wasnt actually included though, i asked a nice man at tyre sales down the road to do it for me

175's look perfect, 185's a tad too wide and 195's look like they're going to pop off.

195 aren't recomended for 5.5" wide rims, mst tyre manufactures say that if you want a 195 tyre your rim has to be 6" or wider.

I wouldn't recommend fitting a 195 tyre to a 5.5" wide rim, if the tyre manufaturers say not too it must be for a reason.
