Chimaera Standard Tyre Sizes

[tomtomtom521]

Hello, I am looking to buy a 1993 Chimaera 430 without power steering and have been told that the tyres currently fitted are not the standard sizes (wheels are standard). I have searched the forums and various tyre companies websites (using the reg and car details) but they all seem to quote different sizes.
Any suggestions of recommended sizes and tyre makes would be very useful.
Currently fitted are 205/60 ZR15 Front with 225/55 ZR16 Rear

Maybe that`s an early car , I thought the sizes are more like 205/55/15 225/50/16

Yeh it is a 1993 model so one of the 1st Chimaera's I believe.

Thanks for everyones help. Any ideas on the best tyres to get. I read Bridgestone S02 / S03 or Toyo?

Sizes changed over the years, when new, the sizes you list are the correct ones for YOUR car, the others listed may have been correct for those cars, depending on age and spec ( power steering etc) I know you are correct as that is the right size for my car, which I have had for 18 years now.

Many people changed to 55 profile fronts when bridgestone stopped making zr 60 profile in that size. TVR swapped sizes during production for the same reason.
Griffith or power steering cars had other specs and over the years people have changed the tyre sizes on a lot of cars as they are told that the sizes are incorrect and should be xxxx based on another car of a different age/spec.

Thank you for the info. So I will stick with the currently fitted sizes. What tyres do you run? Have looked at Toyo T1R but is not available in these sizes.
