I WOULD KEEP THE TYRES THE SAME ALL ROUND. WIDER TYRES AT THE BACK WOULD BE GOOD IF YOUR CAR WAS REAR WHEEL DRIVE, BUT I CANT SEE ANY OTHER REASON. I HAVE HEARD THAT IT CAN CAUSE A DRAGGING EFFECT.
HOW WIDE ARE YOUR RIMS ?
I AM GOING BACK TO 165/60/R12 ON 12X5 RIMS, FROM LOW PROFILES ON 13X7 RIMS BECAUSE I FIND THE HARSH RIDE QUALITY ON LOW PROFILE TYRES JUST TOO BAD ON THE ROADS ROUND HERE ! I ALSO MISS THE QUICKER STEERING AND HANDLING FROM A MORE NARROW TYRE.

7 x 13 sportspack wheels

Dave just think what she would be like on 10s !!! :)

7X13 SPORTS PACK
IMO I WOULD GO FOR THE 175/50/R13 ALL ROUND 7" TYRES ON 7" WHEELS.

COLM THERE ARE A FEW "VALVERS" OUT THERE RUNNING 10'S WITH COOPER S BRAKES ITS O.K IF YOU CAN GET THE GEARING RIGHT OTHERWISE YOU DRIVE ABOUT EVERYWHERE REVVING YOUR NUTS OFF.

ok Dave - do I have to refer to you as a "valver" from now on?

[STEALTH GT]

WELL I DO HAVE MORE VALVES THAN YOU, BUT PLEASE DONT :LOL:

sports packs are 6x 13 not 7 x 13 with a standerd tyre size of 175 x 50 x 13 which fit dead square
