As per tittle

I am enterig my car on hill climbs and sprints but seems really hard to find 16" slick tyres for my spare wheels but there seems to be loads of 14" & 15" tyres out there....

Any links or suggestions welcomed...

15s I think. When I put my 15" supert's on my 172 there was only a few mm brake clearance so I don't think you can go any smaller.

15s are soooooo much better than 16s mate. Stick with the original size.

what tyres are you going for 195 width are easier to get and cheaper than 205

1cm less rubber on the road though

Just a thought I was pondering on the other day, has anyone ever tried 215s or 225s on an RS Clio for extra grip ??

You can use 14's on the back.
