Late 1999 UK REV 5 standard tyre sizes?

Post by JohnQ »

Hi all

I can't seem to find the answer.

What are the standard staggered tyres sizes fitted to these cars?

Are they 15 or 16"?

Both sizes required so I can start pricing them up!

Cheers

John

Gazza

Thankyou.

That rear is a bit hard to find!

It is. Your best bet is Toyo T1R all around really:

The Falken 912 is more suited to a large hatch or saloon really, not a great sports tyre. The Nexen's are terrible from experience. There's a Pirelli available at about £200 a corner for the rear, but thats far too expensive.

Nexen are great in my experience. MUCH better wearing than Falkens. Very good mid range tyres
