tDR Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 ^^ As above - I did a search and came up with 225/50/16 front and 245/50/16 rear? Is this correct? It's been suggested to me that the rears should be a 45 profile although the person I was speaking to wasn't certain. Just double checking! Reason I need them, car went for it's SVA test today and it failed on the bloody tyres! Turns out they are snowtyres (Dunlop Grassipic) according to the SVA tester and as such are a fail, only being rated to 99mph. So I'm going to put Kumho Supra Ecsta 712's on it as the consensus here seems to be they are the best 'cheap' option. Any other opinions? Cheers, Brian.

tDR Posted April 14, 2003 Author Share Posted April 14, 2003 That the right sizes then Adam? You had the J-Spec 16" wheels before your Khans didn't you? I thought the Kumho's were better than the ones you've mentioned, in fact I believe they are rated as being 'almost as good without the price tag' when compared to Goodyear F1's / Bridgestone S02's / S03's?

Terminator Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 I had Kuhmo's on my old 16's. They were fine in in the dry, but I did have RLTC fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outatime Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Originally posted by Adam Kindness or even Falken ZE502's if they do that size I have some Falkens and the nearside front tyre fell to pieces last week - the tread and the sidewall totally seperated. I'm not driving my Supra again until I've replaced all four corners... I asked the same question about Jap 16" tyre sizes, they are 225/50 and 245/50...
