Tires - David - 31-05-2012
iv just treated myself to a set of 16'' OZ Superturismo Alloys and can anyone tell me what size tire i would need for them and a good set of tires?
Re: Tires - Connor - 31-05-2012
What size is the wheel? Im guessing 16x6-7" so you're gonna be looking at 205/45 or 195/45

why? to make the speedo wrong? 195/45/16 is as close to 195/55/15 as you can get really, 50 profiles on 16" wheels would scrub like hell!
Re: Tires - Pompey306mark - 31-05-2012
195/45 is what I use.
I have p zero's but might be a bit rich.
Toyo proxies.

Re: Tires - Connor - 31-05-2012
Matt has referring to the American spelling of tyres, which is tires... And from personal experience i have run 205/45/16s and currently run on 195/45/16s
Re: Tires - Toms306 - 31-05-2012

Re: Tires - Ruan - 31-05-2012
195/45/16.
Mark will kill me for this - Yoko S.Drives, Dunlop SP Sport Fastresponses or if you're feeling rich and want EPIC tyres - Michelin Pilot Exaltos, incredible tyre for the 306.
Re: Tires - n0v0s - 31-05-2012
What tyre size would people recommend on challengers? Would 225/45/17s be too wide for 306 fitment?
//thread jack
Re: Tires - Ruan - 31-05-2012
Way too big, you want 205/40/17...
215 width max...
Re: Tires - C.A.R. - 31-05-2012
Like Ruan says, stick closer to the OEM 195 if you can, otherwise you'll inherit bloody tramlining and a load of additional tyre noise you might not have previously had!
Re: Tires - 4WayDiablo - 31-05-2012
yeah mine were running 205/40/17 and were perfect
Re: Tires - n0v0s - 31-05-2012
Bollcks! i have a brand new pair of dunlop sp sport 01s doing jack. To the ebay they go..
Re: Tires - C.A.R. - 31-05-2012
So to just get this straight, the tyres you have are 225s yes?
If they were 215/40/17 I'd have them straight off of you! Standard size on the Focarse.
Re: Tires - n0v0s - 31-05-2012
yes, 225/45
If they were 215 40's i'd allow myself to buy some challengers! Letting tyres dictate your wheel choice is definitely not the way forward
Re: Tires - Poodle - 01-06-2012
Mowle, did you pick these up from .net perchance...?
