One small problem you will encounter is the fact that nothing wider than 175 will fit the carriage under the ZX.. [:o)] [8)] ooeerr.. lol.. Dont ask!! [:I]

What do you mean? The spare tyre carrier? It shouldn't be a problem as I'll have four 175/65s to use as spares.

It's actually still got the original Michelin spare under there, cracked to bits, so that was gonna be getting the heave-ho shortly anyway...

Yes Gareth, the spare wheel carriage.. I can get a 175 in and wound up.. But no way a 185 will wind up using the standard carriage. I supose you could make a new bigger one though if you really had too.. [:D]

I don't think a 195/55x15 would be cheaper than 185/60x14, which are more common and as these are going on a 1.9d
