Picking up a lovely 2003 Tamora at the weekend but it needs 4 tyres. What are the recommended tyre sizes and make for 16" rims?

Thanks in advance

The obvious answer Dave, is to stick 18" spiders on the car IMO

bounce Well done.

This is a rubbish secret, though. hehe

16" size is Fr 225/50 Rr 225/50 according to the handbook. I've been happy with Toyos, but you know you really want 18" SP12s. yes

You definitely need to go to 18"s or 19"s - they can be bought reasonably on Ph Classifieds or ebay.

Don't worry about your wife being tight - it'll loosen up with use.

Cheers Andy. Was a crap secret wasn't it. Tyres are now sorted. Car may be off the scene for a couple of weeks to get spruced up. Should be OK for the next SYTVRCC meet though.



Dot will kill me for posting this!
