Tyre recommendations

[BillC99]

I have just noticed my rear tyres have small cracks around the tread and need to be replaced (then noticed they were made in 1998!!!)

Standard rims front and rear. What do you recommend as replacements? There seems to be some debate as to what sizes to use. The handbook says the rims are 15" all round?? 205/55/15 front and 225/50 /15 rear. Mine has 205/55/15 front and 225/50/16 rear.

Should I replace rims with 17"all round? if so what size tyres? It all seems a bit of a minefield with some suppliers only able to supply either front or rear tyres in the original sizes.

I will be using mainly on the road with occasional track days

Any help appreciated

ps Any recommended suppliers in the north west?

well, id recommend (for the standard rims) Toyo TR1's.

though they have more than doubled in price since i bought mine a year ago!!!!!!!!!! (which probably says something)

Yes they were classed as a budget tyre a few years back and well priced..Thats why i went for Falken 452`s,and i bet they go up in price the same as Toyos !

I have a nearly new set of Toyo T1-Rs up for grabs if you're interested.
