Is this spec true?.Evo mag

[MrBlonde]

Ive Been reading an old copy of Evo Magazine with the article about the 206Gti Vs 172 Cup.
When reading both specs it says that the cup came with 195/40/15 tyres and 6.5 width??

It reads 195/40/16 to my eyes :wink:.

Yeah they were a funny size as standard, either 195/40 or 195/45 R16.

And the cup alloys are 6.5?.i thought they were 7?

I remember the tyres on my 172 Cup always looked a little stretched. This 182s went to 205 tyres so never had that look.

Yeah thats how i find them now,195 bit stretched & 205 bit to wide i think,unless it will change with different makes of tyres.

I copied this info for my own reference recently from another thread, but confess I can't remember which thread or who posted it, so can't confirm its validity......
