Clive Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 If std wheels they are the original size :) The cars actually behave very well on them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotoflex Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I get overwhelmed by the calculations required when the tire sizes changed.I do know that even though my GT6 came with 4 1/2J wheels, and the GT6 handbook specified 155 SR 13 tires, 165 SR 13 tires fit just fine.5J wheels are on there now; I can't remember what size tires.At any rate, I think if you're tire shopping, you should check whether you've got 4 1/2J, 5J, or even 5.5J wheels, & ask what the widest size that works well is. Narrower tires work better in the rain, but I feel the best all-year approach is to select a tire rated good in the rain, get the widest practical size, & drive carefully in the rain. It does rain a lot here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nang Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Thanks Bill, running standard 4 1/2" rims. Will talk to my tyre man.Don't want to go too wide because of clearance problems.Some years ago I had a car which was meant to have 185's and previous owner had fitted 215's, the back tended to steer so they came off rather quickly. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
