A perennial favourite this one - I have a spare set of allow rims that were fitted to my S but I now have HST wheels for everyday use. I was thinking i might sport around on the 16 in rims this winter but fit them out with some chunky 50/50s for snow (of course having said that, there will probably be none this time around)

anyone got any recommendations on 4 tyres to fit those wheels - preferably cheaply? from memory the size as was is a 195/75/16 or it might have been 195/65/16.
cheers chaps

I fitted These last year and they coped very well with the winter conditions we had "missed the worst of it by 2 weeks". Quieter than the standard Scorpions and have kevlar re-enforced sidewalls and tread.

The size I fitted to the 16" rims was (235-70-16) which is just -4mm smaller Rolling diameter than the standard tyres fitted to HSE rims.

195 sounds more like the size of the space saver spare  2002 Honda VFR800
2002 Toyota Celica 140 Silver (mid life crisis - again!)
2007 FL2 GS Manual Army Reconnaissance Green + freel2.com sticker
2004 Toyota Celica 140 Black - Gone
2000 Toyota Celica 140 Silver - Gone
1998 Toyota Celica ST Pearl Green - Gone
1996 Nissan Primera 1.6 - Gone
1994 Rover Montego 1.6 Auto - Gone

If they're the standard 16'' alloys, then the size is 215/75/16, and I'm in the same boat, wanting either winter tyres for my spare set, or some AT ones. Any advice would be welcomed. Cheers. FL2 TD4 S Baltic Blue, with twin electrics and towbar, roofrails, luggage cover, spare wheel and mudflaps.
