Tyre aspects ?

Hello ..

I need 2 new front tyres - currently my tyres are 195/70 r15 97T front and back 215/65 R15 100T, reading here ive heard the accelera tyres are a good budget recommendation but they don't do these exact sizes, so would it matter if the aspect changed slightly to say 195/65 or 55 ??

Also to add currently on the speedo i get 80 on the dash and just over 70 on the sat nav is this what effects it ?

cheers.

If yours is 2WD it won't matter, but it could wreck the viscous coupling on a 4WD.
Just put 215/65 all round - loads of people have

Hi
I need new tyres all around on mine, its still got japanese tyres on , the treads are ok but they're all cracked round the edges which is a bit

only noticed the other day when I put air in.

But being not particularly 'up' on this sort of thing I don't know what size is on there, or what size to buy. Whereas my other cars have got the sizes/numbers written on the tyres these don't seem to?

If I take it to a tyre place will they know? Plus I have no idea if I have different ones on the back than the front etc..

any help appreciated!!

I have this as well, speedo says 55 and actually only doing 50! not sure what causes this as it has done it since buying it straight from import. I was wondering if the right MPH dial had been fitted??

Speedos almost always over-read

Just fit bigger tyres when next needed

Hi,
I also am unsure what to do! I need 2 new tyres for my 2wd Freda (side conversion). Currently have 215/60 16 on the rear and 205/60 16 on the front. Need 1 new back tyre and 1 new front tyre. After reading various posts think I am going to replace all four with 215/60 16. This seems to be what most people advise is this correct? Therefore when done will have one good used 215/60 16 tyre left. Can I put this on a 16" steel and use as a spare, if yes where can i get a steel wheel that fits and from what vehicle and will it still fit underneath like the current skinny spare. Any advice appreciated.
Many thanks

215/60x16s are fine. A spare with those tyres will fit underneath, but I haven't got a clue which 16" wheel you need to buy

Just make sure it has 5 stud holes, a PCD of 114.3mm and a centre bore of 67.1mm.
This site will let you see which wheels have the right PCD etc (mainly Mazda, Hyundai and Kia), but it doesn't show the wheel sizes http://www.alloywheelsinternational.com ... UIDE1.html

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,have now decided on 215/60 16 all round and will keep my eyes open for a suitable 16" steel to use as a spare.
Cheers

Have just had a full set of 215/60 R16 99w XL Marangoni Verso tyres fitted at £66.00 a tyre. Seemed a decent trade of between cost and quality as they are meant to be a mid range tyre as opposed to a budget tyre. I am now trying to find a suitable 16" steel to put the decent old tyre on as a spare and this is proving more difficult. So if anyone knows what particular 16" steel will fit any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
