keep the speedlines buddy dont swop them :lol:

195 40 16 as bazil said :thumb:

[bazil]

iirc mine are 40's and pirelli P6000 drago, but not sure, i know they were about £80 a tyre tho

[Connor]

Sell the speedlines to me :thumb:

As said, they need 195s on. IMO you need to pay the extra for the 40s as 45s look too chunky for them.

[phazer]

Have a look at the 195's you decide on first if you can - some have massive shoulders and will catch. Pirellis and Yoko's are very slim.

[Rickyb]

cheers for all the comments i will be on the search for some 195/40/16.
as for the comments about dont get rid of the speedlines im not a big fan of the speedline wheel the ONLY reason ive got these is because thay were so cheap lol.

can pull off 45's on the rear and 40's up front , would only put the 45s on the rear if on low low springs though as wont really see the diffrance and really need 40's up front for going low

[dj_wudgey]

id allways go 195/40/16 i had 45's on my sr and the rubbed abit and 195/40's look better as they are a lower profile!!

[Rickyb]

cheers ive opted for 40's ive found a place that will sort me out some real cheap budget ones in the new year and wen i say cheap its really really cheap lol so i best get them in to work and get refurbing them :D

[mayhem]

165-40-16

:d

[phazer]

Streeeeeeeetchhhh. Probably get fined for that over here.

[lee-loon]

Contis are your best bet, not cheap thow at around £90 a corner

[Graeme]

I have sp sport 9000 which I believe have now be superseded, I don't rate them though there too hard imo, have done a good 6 thousand miles on them and they don't seem to of worn a lot, they were noticeably better on on hot roads in the summer but would break traction in third in the wet, I'm going to give Toyo a chance next due to a few people who's opinion I valve rating them and there cheap

[moffat]

wats the ride like on 195/40/16s? getting some speedlines myself and want it pretty low and need 40s for arch clearance

[lee-loon]

I found them harsh but supose depends on suspension set up,not alot of tyre on the wall

[moffat]

coilovers and probs 80mm rear springs lol

[dj_wudgey]

there ok i found mate not any harsher than 45's!!! but then agan my nova is harsh enough any way lol

[Rickyb]

well ive been around a few places to price tyres up and the cheapest i can find 195/40/16 is £68 +vat each so my speedlines might be up for sale to fund some wheels that dont cost as much to tyre up lmao
rick

[phazer]

You'll not find many tyres much cheaper. I've just paid £55 each for a pair of 15 inch mid range tyres for our Corsa.

[Rickyb]

in thats case thay will be going lmao

[phazer]

What you going to replace them with though? I suppose some 14" steelies with £25 ditch finders might fit the bill - then you might be able to buy a set of 4 with tyres for cheapness until you can afford tyres for the speedlines.

[Rickyb]

i want some tigra (round) 5 spokes but ive got some astra sport wheels that i can use for now and ive also got loads and loads of steelies :D
