Tyre sidewalls

[MrBlonde]

I guess bit of a strange one this but,i would like to see the side angle photo of turinis alloys with 205/45/16 or maybe 195 please,i would like to see what make of tyres fit the wheel the best.As i have rainsport3's on 205 and they dont fit the wheel like i would like them to fit.they look a bit balloon like.
I have found a few photos for examples.

Please dont shoot me down on this:monkey:

I don't have them alloys but I know what you mean different brands of tyre look different on the rim

 

[JB21]

I find some tyres seem wider than others eg r888s in 195 seem more like 205, whereas p zero Nero in 205 seem more like 195. Could be something to do with sidewall thickness and whether they have rim protection or not.

Just my 10p worth.

 

[Goodj]

205/55 is the correct fitment.

 

[MrBlonde]

55 profile will look massive tho? @Goodj

yep, sorry, my bad, 45 isn't it?
Got myself confused with some things I'd just ordered. In any event, 205-section

Also, of those 2 pictures from OP, the only good thing I could see was the white-writing on the Conti's

 

[MrBlonde]

Its just a couple of examples mate of the kind of photos i would like to see how the tyres look

 

[Goodj]

Just remember that, sure, you can go smaller section on your tyres, and it'll be cheaper too.
You just lose an inch of footprint on each axle. May not be the end of the world, depends on how much you like to give your Clio a kicking around the bends

 

[MrBlonde]

Ive got 195 on the front at the mo 205 on the rear as i needed two tyres and wanted to try 205.like @JB21 said all come up different

 

[Daz 172]

195/45/16 in the PS3 with xl load on sidewalls look just right on a turni

 

[MrBlonde]

Yeah i think at the moment im going to go with 195,cheaper to!:up: possibly go with Yoko AS01 S.Drive tyres.

 

[Knuckles]

Not the best pictures sorry but I think these were 195/45/16s

The less stretch the better imo.

 

[MrBlonde]

Just want a tyre that dosent look fat if you know what i mean.Like they are in this photo..205/45/16 Rainsport3's.

Oh, I think that looks cracking!

Stretched tyres with any amount of arch gap looks a bit half arsed imo.

A lot of new cars come with a bit of stretch with tractor arch gap. It looks proper pikey.

But different strokes I suppose.

 

[Knuckles]

Crap picture and wrong car but the 'squarer' 225 section fronts fill the arches better and give it a much better look than the 215 section rears with a bit of stretch and more arch gap.

Both are 45 profile.

 

[MrBlonde]

Yeah i know what you mean mate about the square look of a tyre and thats what im after really. @Knuckles

Yokos seem to be a good fitting tyre and look great!.Nankangs tho?

This looks SO wrong.

 

[MrBlonde]

I dont think it looks bad,but then its not on turinis.
It was just an example of the sort of side tyre photo i wanted to see,so could see how the tyres fit.

Looks like this to me,don`t care it`s a turinis or a steely.Tyre is too small for the rim.

I have to park in the road with cars either side the bin lorry has to go in between so the wing mirrors get folded in 205 for me because curb crawling.

 

[MrBlonde]

Fair enough mate @flebay

I just read an old Autocar article about the 172 Cup Vs Mini Cooper and gives you all the specs of each car and the Turinis are only 6.5 x 16inch and 195/45/16 as standard.I would of thought they would of been 7inch wide.

The number will be cast into the back of the wheel.
