Which tyre size is it? - Page 2

20vcqdriver · 16-07-09, 09:40 PM

245 really is too wide for a 7" rim. Most 225 tyres including my Goodyear F1's on the Passat are borderline on a 7". So 245 would need at least a 8" as a minimum, prefferably an 9".
Try some Goodyear F1-GSD3, they grip like glue... though they do wear down quite quickly too.

and not the cheapest, but brilliant wet or dry...

Yeh if you go onto kwik fits site you can put your car in and it will suggest a range of tyres that will fit.
