Re: Tyres
After a pm discussion with Neil and seeing that Lee's answer on these tyres i think ill go for something like the Toyo R1R .
Had to pop over to Snodhurst this evening so while i was there I got my tyre sizes, so at the front i'm running 195 x 45 x 15 on the rear 205 x 50 x 15 so the surch begins.
I new this wasn't going to be easy ? I can't see on the websites i have been on doing my size of tyre in a R1R ?
Ok i didn't have my glasses on when i looked at the sizes but i am sure they are right, so any ideas please ?

Re: Tyres
Here’s a link to some R1R’s Colin
These are 195/50/15’s but you can play with sizes.

One question, why are you running different profiles front to back?

Good point, The profile is a percentage of the tyre's width. e.g. a 215/60R15 tyre has a profile or sidewall that is 60% of the 215mm (width), so the wider the tyre the lower the profile to get the same overall diameter? That said I have 185/60 R13 on the front and 205/60 R13 on the rear of the Fury so mine are a different diameter too.......

Re: Tyres

I don’t know why to honest. The tyres are what came with the car when I got it. If I go 50’s on the front I am not sure if they will for due to the wing.
I was used g the tyre selector on Openeo that’s when I found I can’t get a 195x45x50 in r1r.
I will have to have a good look when I get the car home next week and have a play.
Is it that simple that a 45 profile a to 50 profile is 5mm. I know it is but would it make a difference if I could get them which I think I can.
