Opttional Tyre Sizes ?

[chris up north]

I have been looking for new tyres and on some sites it states that the sizes for the cts are 195/55/16 v or 205/55/16 v ?? is that right ?

That's correct, the alloy's can take 2 sizes in case one wasn't available.

Not sure what difference the 2 tyre sizes will make to performance/handling etc.

Some members on here have fitted the other size tho!

205/50x16 is also an option.

The differences in tyre sizes...

195/55x16.....

195 = 195mm width

55 = sidewall height is 55% of the width (195x55% = 107.25mm)

16 = Diameter of wheel in inches.

You can work the others out yourselves.. but 205/50x16 is the next best option as it it closer in rolling radius than the 205/55x16.
