Title: tyre sizes
Post by gary1 on Feb 1^st, 2007, 4:25pm

Hi All
I have 205x65x15 tyres on steel rims fitted to my 1997 2.3 scorpio estate.I have the chance of getting alloy wheels with 195x60x15 tyres fitted.Would there be any problems fitting this size tyre.

hi there

at the moment, your 205x65x15 tyres are -2% out. the new size, 195x60x15 are +3.2% out. so not much of a difference.

are the wheel offsets the same (et code)?

btw, the correct size for 15" wheels is 195x65x15.
