Hi the other half needs tyres for her 58plate cooper d. She has std wheels as far as can tell with 175 65 r15 tyres but have seen people talking about toyo 195 55 r16. Now I use toyos on my chimaera and woulld always recommend them but have to forgive my none mechanical mind but can she just change from her 175s to the 195 toyo?

Many thanks Paul

Not by just changing the tyre in most cases. And toy take about 16" and 17" and this is the hight of the wheel. Going bigger dose give a littel mor grip but dose not always make the care handle and drive better.
