Best size on a 940 is a 205/55R16 tyre on a 7x16 rim.
Highly recommended

Don't buy cheap tyres made in China. They are dangerous.
Bridgestone is good on the bricks.

185/65R15 are legal and too slim at my experience. The 175/70R14 at the 740 where even worse.

You only have contact by maximum a size of a postcard between the road and your tyre. Take care about tyres that are more old than 7 years. Only to do (stupid) burnouts you will use old tyres

Good luck, Kay

Thanks but i dont like alloy wheels, kerbs around here ar really high and very easily caught no matter how careful you are, the amount of cars in blackppol with kerbed alloy wheels is high 🙁.. with a wheel trim you can toss in bin and get new one .. i just bought a full volvo set from gumtree for £15 😊..
