New Tyres sizes

[mickobrien]

1st post a newbie..... great site full of infomation.

My question is , i need 4 new tyres for my calibra. they are running standard vauxhall alloy rims 15 in on micky mouse mix and match tyres .

i brought the car knowing it needed new tyres , in thepast i have allways brought yokohamas or dunlop.

now i want to know if i can fit 225/50/15 to the back and 205/55/15 to the front. they have the same rolling diamiter and are the same price as the 205s my old mr2 had 225sall round and handled like a roller skate.

any body tried this on theirs?

thanks in advance

Being fwd i'd go 225's all round mate

i'd say 225's are much too wide for standard rims, and you'll never get a calibra handling aswell as a MR2 just by changing the tyre widths!

Hello and welcome, as MJ said plus you will need to change shocks and springs as wheel.

Okay Great , thanks for the fast responce, i think i will just go for 205s , safe cheaper bet for the time being.

A wise choice. And welcome, btw. SE4 autos are quite rare (<100) - got any photos you want to post up?
