2005 HDI GTI

All round my pugget I have 205/45/16

I can't find a very good selection of tyres compared to my 15s on my MR2.

I only need rear tyres though, so is there any other sizes I could use to broaden the choice? I.e. 215/45/16, 195/45/16?

Cheers

Go here www.anycalculator.com/tiresize.htm

Plug the numbers in, so long as the difference is less that 2% then you are golden

I'd be careful going much wider, as the tyre will start to catch on the arch, unless you have spacers...

Good selection? In a particular price range? Most high performance tyres start at 17" these days. Goodyear F1 Assymmetric 2s come in 16" sizes and are a decent tyre.

These are great tyres:

I've used them on a variety of cars and they're a great all round option.

Are they meant to be 205s? On some sites I've looked at The standard tyre size on that alloy is meant to be 195....

Can I really go thinner on the rear, will it not have a effect as the fronts are 205?

Only GTI fitted with 195s are those with 15" wheels and early cars that had Nimrod fitted as an option as part of the SP kit.

Any car fitted as standard with Nimrods had 205 tyres.
