Can I fit 205 tyres on the back of my MK I have 195 the now.

yes you can i used to have 205/50/15 fitted all round but i now have 195/50/15 at the mo

i will be fitting 205/50/15 on the rear when i have worn the toyo's down

Depends on clearance, every car is slightly different so you need to check that your current tyres arent within about 5mm of anything, as thats the radius and width increase between 195 50 15s and 205 50 15s

Thanks now just to find toyo 888 seem to be out of stock found TOYO R1R are they any good

I have 205/50/15 T1Rs on my Indy and they are fine.

I haven't had the car that long, so haven't really been pushing too much, but I got caught the other day in a bit of rain, and it was fine, even when pressing on a bit over the twisties.

I had T1Rs on an Impreza a few years ago, and they were good on that - really good in the wet to be honest.

Yes, fit them, if you want your car to skate about on wet roads, and even dry ones !

Mine got 13/205 all round, and i will be changing them to 195 at the very most

R1r's are fantastic Tyres, wet or dry.

Tripple 8's dont like wate I was aquaplaning sideways going uphill on the M11 at 45mph very scary

I've got Toyo T1R's on my Meerkat RV8 and they are really good. I'm sure other tyres can produce more max grip in the dry but these are really good predictable wet and dry tyres. I've driven a couple of times in the wet now and even with some serious torque from my 3.5 litre V8, it remains controllable. Good price too.

Wheel width is a factor 205's on 6" rims and pushing it, 205's on 7" ideal
