    New tyres

    Hi,

    I'm buying 4 new tyres tomorrow, either Toyo's, GY F3's or Mich Exalto . Question is am i better off with the 205-55-16 tyre or is the 225-50-16 a better option.
    Car is standard (for the time being).

    I would stick with the stock width if I were you - you might find that with the 225 width on your rim that the sidewalls bulge excessively which is potentially a hazard - do you know how wide your current wheels are?

        Hi, kept the original spec tyre and got the Goodyear F1's at £78 a corner.

          That's a good price for F1s - let us know what you think of the tyres, if you notice any change in handling/ traction, wet performance, noise or ride quality!
