Tyre Sizes

[martinj]

Hi,

I have 195/65x15 tyres on my 1999 passat estate 1.8T auto, I seemed to remember that when my wife had a 1.9tdi in the past that it had a larger tyre on it, a 205 section.

Does anyone out there have 15 inch wheels with a wider tyre that could let me know what the size is, eg. 205/50x15?

I'm currently running 205/60/15 on my 2001.5 Saloon.

Have a play around with this calculator to see how much your speedo is thrown out for every tyre size increased.

That's a very good price - 4 Pirelli P6000 cost me £90 a tyre!

I paid £112 all in per axle £224 for 4
