Correct Tyre Size For Clio 182 FF Botn Cup Packs

[Deerhound]

Hi All.
I viewed a Clio 182 FF both cup packs today & noticed that the tyre sizes were 195/45 R16 80V (Tyres Toyo Proxes)
I understand that the oe tyrs for the 172 Clio were 195's & the 182 are 205's?
Can any members advise me whether the Toy's on the car are suitable & legal, insurance wise as they aren't the oe size.

Cheers

205-45-16 is 182 size. 195's are fine, but 205 will protect the rim a bit more.

Ive never told any insurer my tyre size.

Not that I've heard it happen but it could be a potential non pay out on a technicality. You'd have to be dam unlucky if it came to that, but maybe if the accident was a result of a tyre issue it could be a deciding factor?

I have the Michelin Pilot Sport 3s on my 182
