So who's the Hoosier Tyres Guru on here??

[ZetecTinaLee]

Looking into trying a set of these at the pod so ive been on the website tonight looking at sizes.. I can only see one size that means anything to me and thats 175-70-13. All the other tyres are written in a way i dont know what the numbers all mean?!

 

Currently running Toyo R888's 205-60-13's so there nice and wide.. Anybody know the different sizes they do?

 

Many thanks

do you mean they say like 22x8.0x13 if so 22 is the inch diameter so you would have a 4.5 inch side wall top and bottom so basically rim side add 1st number gives side wall,midle number is width,remember you can go up or down an inch on the width so you could run 7 or 9inch rim with 8inch width tyre,and the last size is obvious, hope this helps

I run a 7.0 wide, 20.5 diameter MG4 if that helps - as we have the same rear arches!

[ZetecTinaLee]

That does help Toby cheers

 

How much room do they leave between the tyre and the arch?!

 

thanks

[Toby]

Depends on your wheels I guess mate.

 

There's plenty of room with them on my 6" wide Mistral Carmonas, but I'm not sure of the offset on those..... but I think it might be ideal.

 

Sorry I can't help more.

 

I nearly spoke to you last night but the Tesco man was waiting at my house!

[ZetecTinaLee]

thats alright... next time

 

I might go down there and see what I can get, maybe something as similar to what im running?! See what they can do!

 

cheers for the help!!

I have tried MG4's and they didnt work for me, so got some £20 Michelins from Ebay and have done a 1.5 60ft on them, they work for me

And mucho cheaper than Hoosiers!

[Toby]

This seems like sound advice!

 

Look out behind you though Kev!!

[kevmk2]

Why whats behind me? A Mk1 Cortina?
