Tyre Size for TVR Griffith 430

[scottliv]

Hi all,

I have just become the owner of a Griffith 430 precat. The front tyres have plenty of wear left but have a manufacturing date of 2006 so time for a change. The are currently 205/55 R15 but choices are limited in this size. I have sourced Toyo T1R in 205/50 R15. Obviously these will have a small (20mm) change in diameter. I am not changing the rears.

Does anyone have any experience - good or bad - running these size tyres?

Hi all - thanks for the replys. I have taken the advise and chosen to go with RainSport 5 at the front with the correct aspect ratio. Didn’t fancy losing 10mm ride height and with wear that could be up to 15mm.

Toyo T1Rs 225/50/16 at the moment and good nick.
