Hi
I have a SR with the original Momo alloys, they're fitted with 205/55 x16 tyres but i've read elsewhere they should be 205/50 x16 tyres.

Can anyone confirm which is correct ?

I guess a '50' would offer less flex in the side wall but probably more expensive.

Any guidance much appreciated.
Thanks

To get an exact as possible read on the speedometer it'll be 205/50-16, which there should be a tag on the door. If the tires are still good with lots of tread I wouldn't worry about it, when your speedometer reads 60 mph you're really doing 62 mph.

205/50R16 should be the correct size for the SR! smile.gif
