I beleive the correct size for 1*2s with 16s is 205 45 16s.

Wrong. standard on a 182 is 205/45/16 standard on the 172 is 195/45/16.... but you can switch between, some prefer the 205, some the 195.

^^as above

Yep...195/45/16 came on the Cups...but 182s came with 205/45/16 and can be switched over (but do all 4 at same time!)

Is there any real noticeable difference from switching tyres. The Trophy currently has 205/45/16s however for PS3's they are £20 a corner cheaper to buy 195/45/16s!

I had 205's on the car when I first bought it, and it's trammed really bad on the road, used to try and follow the white lines.

195/45/16 PE2's and the problem had gone, completely.

Same tyres though?

On the road 95% of driving you will see no noticeable difference if using the same brand in 195 or 205 guise!

The only difference being price, the slightly stretched look and 195s offering a lot less rim protection on 182 wheels should your "gf/missus/partner" *cough cough*... have a run in with a kerb when parking!

ive had 195 and 205 on mine, got 205 width paradas on now, only diff is 205 width can catch on arch liner if its slammed, but only when on full lock. no big issue though

I'll have no issues with it as it wont be slammed. The 205's already have a bit of a stretched look which im not keen on so I'll probably stick with them as anymore would look daft.
