Dynamique S TCE
So, I've just been to ATS to get quoted on some new tyres, Conti Sport Contact 3s.
My current tyres are 195/50/16V, and I got quoted £141 per corner.
I asked if changing to 195/45/16V would give cheaper tyres and the guys respose was something like 'No, that tyre would be far too small for you, if you held the two tyres next to each other you can see a physical difference in size', and I thought, obviously, theres a 10m (total) difference in the sidewalls, but surely they still fit onto 16 inch wheels!
Blackcircles are quoting £85.87 for Conti Sport Contact 3s, a HUGE difference in price!
So please tell me, can I use the tyres with a smaller profile? (Will be going on front axle both sides, rear axle has 195/50/16V both sides.)
Thanks
