Am away at friends this weekend and managed to get a flat in a rear. Handbook is not in the car and need clarification on tyre size for 20" wheels: is it 265/30 ZR20 (as currently fitted), or 255/30 ZR20 as all the tyre sites say?

Also, any preference/experience between Conti Sport Contacts or Goodyear Eagle F1s on here?

Thanks

Seriously? Are you asking should you fit one 255 when the rest of the wheels have 265's on scratchchin

Common sense would normally answer your question.
No I am not asking that. I am asking what the 'correct' size for the car is. I am replacing both rears now, and the fronts soon anyway.

Also asked for thoughts on Conti vs Goodyear?

Anyone?

Brilliant, confirms the tyres currently on are correct. Odd that tyre seller websites state 255s are right fitment.

Anyway getting prices back on 265 contis and goodyears tomorrow- will have a look at the michelins too. Never had them before but they seem to get decent reviews. Thanks for the advice

Checked the sticker (as above) on mine (2010 model) and it shows the 265 size for 20s.

Have therefore ordered Michelin pilot sport 2s, to be fitted this week, £10 cheaper than the contis and should be an improvement over the current dunlops.

Can't wait to get the new tyres on as the punctured tyre couldn't be repaired (to get me home), so had to drive 200 miles home on the space saver at 50mph yesterday.......thank god for cruise
