205/45/16 tyres on a 172 cup

[banx22]

Bascially will they fit.

The car is standard.

I can get pilot exaltos in this size but not in 195/45/16

any help is appriciated

Fit, yes, but I think there will be issues as the tyres are too wide for the offset (or something along those lines).

I'm sure someone else can help out in a more definitive manner

thanks for the help. going to get conti sports instead.

PE2 are impossible to find, i must have rung at least 20 places today and nobody can get hold of them

Costco is the answer for exaltos

195/45 are £77 each
205/45 are £88 each

For the record 205/45/16 tyres of any description will fit onto a standard Cup's wheels and perform without rubbing. Ever.

 

[kully]

is that with a full load too ?????

 

[MarkCup]

I've had two tool boxes, 4 track wheels with tyres, trolley jack, a-full-weekend's-worth-of-shite, and a passenger all in the back with no rubbing.

Does that count?

yep that'll do , will need to look at alternatives as the 195/45/16 contis are getting harder to find

205/40/16 Parada's. No rubbing issues. Mint tyres. £88 each from Demon tweeks, probably cheaper from elsewhere mind. On Cup Turini's

 

[daviebroon]

have been running 205's in my cup for the last year or so, and had no problems, right up until i got the new F1's... when turning at low speed the tyres either scraped along the ground, or jumped... almost as if one of the wheels wasn't turning and was being dragged along the ground. Loads of people then started saying oh yeah... mine does that quite badly too... wondered what it was.

Now going back to 195's, and PE2's. At £226 fitted for 4... will ALWAYS be getting them from now on.

What about on a 172 FF, any rubbing issues with them ?

As i'm running 195/45 R16's at the moment as well.

However, lowered 172 cups with these tyres on will rub. I've tried it.

You did, and I benefited from said trial :approve:

I have 205s on my cup and not only does it feel better, but looks better too!! Never had any such rubbing! Great upgrade from standard!!
