Title: tyres ? sorry but it IS Christmas

Its just about tyre size, I want to get some Goodyear eagle F1s but am cofused by some suppliers as to whether I can actually get 225/55/16 or not.

Some seem to show only 205s in the 16 size, and some only show 225s in 17 and 18.

I currently have 225/65/16.

Can anyone please tell me what difference there would be in the handling between the different sizes and what size would you recommend

If you have 16" rims the correct size is 225/55 R 16
If you have 17" rims the correct size is 235/45 R 17

HTH ;)

Amazonian,

As Dbug says, if you have 16" wheels you need 225/55/16 tyres and if you have 17" wheels you need 235/45/17 tyres.

Locally, you cannot beat WG Tyres at Billingshurst Station... (http://www.wgtyres.com/)
