Tyre sizes

Post by windywatson » Wed May 18, 2011 9:21 pm

Have been struggling to get tyres of the recomended size as per the plaque inside drivers door. Know that many members have swapped to same size all round to make life easier. I'm still on original 15 inch steels and its a V^ rear wheel drive.
Any suggestions of sizes best suited and suppliers and brands. gettig prices of about £100 per tyre. Could do with something a bit more budget friendly. Live in Lincoln area if anyone knows of a good priced supplier in that location.

Cheers

Cant recommend a Tyre dealer in/around Lincoln but many here fit 215/65/15 Accelera tyres..... around £40-50 each dependent on area...
Most Tyre dealers should be able to source them for you, you may be better at an Independent dealer than Kwik Fit etc....

just get 'em fitted locally....
