"B" on your tire.
You have wide/high R tire(alloy) size

(195/45 R16)

 

[Mr R.]

[banther]

​Thought 205 might be better than 195

205 on the T.. which tyres are you getting

 

[banther]

Hankook V12's

Im fairly sure I need 195/45/16?

​Im confusing myself

oops typo

195 or 205 is preference. Cup Turini's came with 195 as standard. Personally, I'd go with 205 - it's only like a tenner extra per tyre or something, and it's more traction with the road.

Got yokes on this and they are great

[banther]

So 205 / 45 / 16 ?

​Thats what I had in mind initially

​Fred at BTM has just started doing tyres, might be worth a call.. Don't PM lol..

 

[banther]

Yeah I'm well aware of his hatred for PM's.

195/45/16 or 205/45/16.

But like I said, personally I'd go 205. I recently bought 4 new tyres, would've cost me about 340 in 195, cost me 380 in 205, was personally happy to pay a bit extra considering I was paying a hefty amount anyway.

General consensus is 195's are fine, and as stated standard for Cup Turini's, but going 205 will offer you a bit more protection for the rim, whereas 195's give a slightly better turn-in on track.

 

[banther]

Yeah thanks for clearing that up for me mate.

I wanted 205 for the extra comfort and rim protection just didnt know the 45 / 16 bit.

Turn in on track is the absolute least of my worries!!
