Those people are too narrow minded to believe not everything they have learn't is still valid in this day and age.

I've got a black n white Union Jack on the roof !! Don't get much sportier than that :) 1 hour ago, transam said: 165/65x14, it now has 195/50x15, will change with 195/55x15. So your originals and the proposed 195/55 both have 107.25mm depth of rubber... Nearly 10mm deeper than your current boots.. Mine are only 92mm deep !!! I need another 10mm at least if I can still turn the wheels ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Usually a ride model that has more power from factory has more rubber with the same body panels... My 195/50x15 has no probs with clearance, so much so that I am going up a tad to 195/55.. I used this calculator to get an idea.. https://tiresize.com/tyre-size-calculator/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Easy to check clearance with a piece of angle iron and a piece of Redi Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stament Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Anyways after no clear winner we went with Goodyear 4 new tyres 19k which was about 25% cheaper than michellin. Bridgestones were higher. If they last 50k/4 years I will be more than happy. Will report back in 4 years ????

Didn't want to go with an unknown brand, all these are well known and have international standards so figured much of a muchness. 25% cheaper option if lasts 25% less time than evens out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
