I need tyres!

GaryS40 · Nov 20th, 2011, 20:20

Hi All

I am looking at completing the refurbishment of my BBS Crater alloys, over the winter months and will need some tyres to wrap around them, when they are ready.

I am looking for 5 tyres, with at least 5mm of tread on each.

Size required is 205/55/16, with a V speed rating.

Same make tyres will be an advantage.

Let me know what you have and send a photo, plus what you hope to sell them for.

Thanks

Gary

I use 205/55R16 on mine. They fit with no issues and are cheaper to buy.

Thanks for that t4owner.

I was told that the 55 series tyres would also fit, but are cheaper than the 50 series.

As I am at college just now, the more I can save, the better.

Hi there pacman67

My budget is as little as I can get away with, without endangering the lives of my family.

I got a pair of part-worn tyres, a couple of weeks ago, for my 15" Stellar's, for £84.00 fitted.

I may have to get into that way of thinking, for the 16"s too.
