What tyre size do I need??
« on: 20 November 2007, 17:28:19 »
2.5i V6 Elite (98), standard alloys...

Currently there 205/55 R16, but reading a few posts on here, they don't sound right??  Found 1 post referencing a 2.5 CDX with 225/55 R16...

Need to replace all corners, so want to make sure I get it right incase the ones on it are wrong.

225/55/16V is the standard 16 inch tyre size.....205 is a bit narrow!

Michelins good grip and wear well but pricey, Dunlop SP9000's v. good grip but poor wear. Goodyear Eagle F1's are well received by most.

225/55/16 tyres will see you motor ride much better and grip better anyway! I wouldn't buy cheap tyres, false economy. Lots reported problems with Pirelli's.

It's only money  :y

Yep, got Goodyear Eagle F1's here, but they ain't cheap - cheapest price I've found is £95 a boot...   :o

I've always got on well with Conti's.  Have got Falkens at the moment which are fine.
