tire sizes ?

Post by nod »

I am runing with Michelin 215/15 R16 tires and soon ready for a new set of winter tires what is the biggest size I can put on this rim?
The car is a C5 estate 2004 model and I think the bigger size tire would look quite cool if nothing else.

Dont know whst you can fit but a 15 profile would be poor on winter tyres. I'd want 60 or 65 myself.

Agree,,,,the more flex (larger profile) the better in the winter. Most people I know who run 19's for example go to 17's in the winter
