Tyre change

[r_dizzel*]

at the moment my car has 195/45/r16's

can i get any different tyres... which could also help my tyres becoming in-line with the arches.. obviously it wouldn't be a big difference, but... any ideas?

get 205's.

Yes my dad told me to get them aswell, would they help the wheels to get inline with the arches abit better?

 

[st3ve]

A little yes and it will make the wheels look a little wider too and a tiny bit more grip I suppose but your not gonna notice that to be fair.

205's will be 10mm wider, so it will help fill to the end of the arches a little. your 182 would have been fitted with 205's from standard.

I'd get 205's

I'll be getting 205's when I next need to get tyres, I'll be getting two fairly soon so I'll put them up front and then get the other two done later.

anyone know any good places to get cheap part worn tyres?

always put the new tyres on the back.

would you recommend doing this to a 172 cup? putting 205/45/16 on instead of 195/45/16 ? whats the pros and cons from doing it? it seems to tramline quite a bit already will this make it worse?

always put the new tyres on the back.

How come?

oversteer. ask anyone.
much better to have understeer on a fwd car than oversteer.
