Average / Stock Tyre Sizes

[Matthew_McNally]

What is the stock, or most common tyre sizes?

Working on something for gold members

For 80's hot hatchs and other sporty vehicles of that decade (not modified) the majority seems to be:

185/60 R14 (Corolla GT & GTi ran this size)

&

195/50 R15

I'm running 195x45x16 Pirelli P Zeros on my Corolla but they are definitely non standard (205's are too wide for my rear arches ) - but I'll need some later this year :shutit:

arounnd £50 a corner a good price for those? (including VAT and delivery).

as an aide - how do you find them?

I have them all round on my car, and to be frank - I'm getting shut.

get too much wheelspin with then - don't mean full throttle racing starts either - normal merge into traffic at junctions / roundabouts type starts.

I've been getting them for £63 each - that includes valve, fitting, balancing, disposal of old casing and VAT. Plus the place I use have a "padded" machine for removing/fitting tyres so they don't damage the alloys (all the damage to my wheels has been self inflicted )

Just the tyres, fitting and VAT would cost me £98. I reckon £50 a corner is about what I pay at the moment (without the fitting).

Don't have aproblem with the tyres themselves - only get wheelspin when I'm too enthusiastic and then the LSD cuts in anyway :D . I manage about 15,000 miles on a front set and about 18,000 for the rears

Original (Winter) = 175/65/R14's michelin energy.

Current (Summer) = 205/40/R17's Bridgestone potenza

Still got alot of tread on both sets but it doesn't hurt to know for the near future.
