Hi
I did search no post for 18 months so I think I can ask .

Mk 1 year 2000 Tuscan , currently 235 on front 40's and 255 rear 35's.
When I search on here many have used 225 front and 40's all around with 255 on the rear and other combinations.

What sizes do you use with success on your cars .
Thank you

David

I said I would report back and despite the rain the 235 40 tyres on the front and the 245 40 tyres on the back are the best set up since I've had the car in over 6 years the bump steer and tramlining has near disappeared it is a remarkable change at the front of the car taking off some to 235 35 tyres.
It's now like driving a 90s car rather than a 70s car really very surprised that new tires can make so much difference and using the size suggested by a TVR specialist
