It may just be my imagination but didn't te LE and Plus come with different tre size to the normal Coupes?

I am just trying to find out which size is the standard while I shop around for tyres, did I make this all up in my head or was it just the Plus?

Nick - LEs and Pluses (and probably last-of-line 20VTs too) came with 225/45 ZR 16

standard 20VTs came with 205/50 ZR 16

If you want to be totally original, you need Pirelli P-Zero Assimetrico

Thanks,

After delving throgh some pictures mine currently has 205/50 's on it so will shop around for a change. The difference between the two won't affect the speedo will it? I want P Zero's but have read a few posts on here where people say they are not the best

Anyonehave any opinions on what the best tyres are for the Coupe. I like to get good boots the best possibly really without being silly.

I have also found there seems to be less choice in 225/45 compared to 205/50 also the price is cheaper which will no doubt explain why the 205's are on my car.

225/45/16 & 205/50/16 are interchangeable and won't affect the speedo, as they have a virtually identical rolling radius .

I have recently changed from 205/50 P Zeros to 225/45 Toyo T1Rs and think that they are a great improvement . They are also reasonably priced at £63.50 from Camskill at the moment.

From my understanding then the 225's will just look better?

Looking for some 225's found some P Zero Assimetrico's at £95 each on Blackcircles

Toyo T1R in 205/50/16 fully fitted for <£75 a corner at http://www.valuetyres.co.uk/quotation/online-step4.php?deliveredorfitted=fitted

Plus a load of others too including Avons and Eagle F1 at £82

They were excellent for me a few weeks ago - have loads of fitting centres

Okay will take a look, am thinking of putting some P-Zero's back on the car Italian car Italian tyres and all

They're £100 a corner there

£116 on Value ouch they hurt are they worth it?

I am sure I have a discount code for blackcircles somewhere also get a discount for being a member of a car club though its likely to be 20 pence of each tyre

£116? Not in a 205/50/16 Surely it's better to get the best tyre, not necessarily the original one? Check out basic FAQs (I think) for reviews

Yes this was for 225/45 okay will go hunting. A wider tyre is going to be better though surely? or am I completely wrong

Highwayman says above they are the same and he has found the Toyos better? I suspect he knows what he is talking about unlike me

Unlike me too though all thoughts are greatly appreciated

LE/20VT came with 205/50/16, 20VT[6] and Plus came with 225/45/16

Get some Eagle F1 or Proxy T1, the P-Zero are decent tyres but well overpriced.

Oh so I was looking at the wrong ones!

Don't the 225/45's look better as they are wider?

Thanks for the advice

I stand corrected...

You're in luck ! As I take photos of just about everything on my car , I happen to have one of 205/50 Pirellis next to 225/45 Toyo T1Rs . Also, I have a shot of the Toyos on the car . I would definitely say that the T1Rs were a significant improvement over the Pirellis, but if you want italian rubber, then keep it original .

Of course, what you really want are these !

Phil

Thanks for the input though Nigel

Get the Falken FK 452's. Very grippy, wear better then most, and best thing is they are cheapy cheap from Camskill !!

Andy.

Rubbish I cannot find any good tires for 205/50

Oh just seen the last two posts Cannot find the Pirelli's in size 205/50 anywhere.

Falcons? will look at them now as well. Nice bunch of shots Phil

Falken 452's 205/50 are £52 i think from Camskill. Thats cheap, and they will last twice as long as the F1 Eagles and out grip them.

Andy.

Okay been searching and made up my mind on some Pirelli's but cannot find them anywhere for 205/50 if someone comes accross them please let me know

Thanks for the advice all

They have the P-Zero at valuetyres (in both sizes I think)...I'm confused why you can't find them anywhere

some folk just wont listen

Or listen and ignore just decided I would like some form of Pirelli boot on as have had them in the past and liked them. No offence meant

Was looking for the Pirelli PZero Asimm but it only seems to be available in 225/45 Vickster, possibly not made in the 205 then?

P Zero Nero I think? Not the same?

I assume not different tread and characterisitcs apparently though could be wrong. Might be them then

Nope I talk rubbish Highwayman has some 205/50 P's in his picture
