      That’s another minefield. Tyres being different widths but listed as being the same dependant on make… Also noticed Dunlop now sell a “classic” style tyre , either unusual sizes or old skool look tread pattern but at circa £200 each they weren’t for me…

      Normally yes, but the Pirelli P7F was more like a 205 tyre as said.

      175/50/13 on a 7.5” must look quite stretched  Probably much the same as a 195/45 My car came with 175/50’s. 7” front and 8” rear. Front looked ok-ish but rear looked awful and damn right dangerous.  I tried 185/60s all round but the front rubbed the arch as don’t have Mexico wings. Fitted 175/60 to front and left the 185 on rear but the rears looked like balloons in comparison to fronts.  Spent far too long on a tyre comparison site to try figure out the best combo for front and rear that were closest % wise for profile, rolling radius etc and the best I could find for tyres that were available was 175/60 front and 195/55 rear. Now looking at the car side on they look same height front and back and not like a hot rod with the 185/60 rear.  Now I know why cars like Porsche with different widths front to rear have different profiles…eg: if they have a 35 profile front , rear will be 30.  A wider tyre on rear needs to come down at least one profile to match…

      Back in the day the German's choice was the Pirelli P7F in 175/50R13 . The 175 width was probably just to keep the TuV happy as it was more like a 205 tyre in reality. In UK I've seen Uniroyal 195/55R13 tyres on 7.5 inch rims.

      I thought the same … i “think” they are 195/45’s. A tyre size im led to believe they don’t make anymore so unsure what the go to tyre is now.
