16's all round - what tyres?

[baconsarney]

Hi all, put 16's on the front a few years back to fit larger rotors, and time now for new rubber... just looking into options but choice is obviously limited...

Anyone else got 16's all round and if so what tyres/sizes do you have?

TIA,
Richard

Opening shot - you can get Uniroyal Rainsport 5s in 205/55 16 and 225/55 16 (for front and rear respectively).
Not sure about the speed ratings, and you might prefer slightly wider tyres.
Rainsports have good grip wet or dry. I run them myself all year round, but on 17 inch wheels.

Toyo R1's are available in 225/45 x 16 Front, 245/45 x 16 Rear or 225/50 x 16 Rear

For Summer I've got 225/45 (front) 235/50 (rear) a mix of Conti Sport Contacts (F) and TOYO Proxies (R) on OZ split rims
For Winter 225/45 (front) 225/50(rear) TOYO Snow Proxies on Imolas

Conti only because there was plenty of tread would not recommend...But after putting Michelin Sport 4s on my Tuscan , I'd buy them for my Chim. The snow tyres are great for winter

I went with Rainsports on 16" Rims. Not sure on what sizes are available for the RS5's but I went with these:

Uniroyal Rainsport 3 205/50 R16 87Y
Uniroyal Rainsport 3 225/50 R16 92Y

205/55/15 roughly works out at the 205/50/16 the 16" being 5mm wider diameter I think 205/55/16 is slightly too tall at an extra 25mm on the diameter.

Running 225/45/16 front and 245/45/16 on the rear.

Just bought a set of Toyo R888R’s
