Default GT2 Prodrive Wheels 19" Tyres

Looking to protect my OEM alloys in the winter months so picked up a set of four of these bad boys from Holdcroft. Did me a really cracking deal.

Anyways, what size and profile tyres are best to stick on them? I imagine I will end up paying more for tyres than I did for the alloys...

Should of popped rob a message on here, guess he offered the same deal as you got as it was a dealer promotion from what I gather.

Have a set on mine so when I get back to work I will drop you the sizes

Most of the winter as already gone, we are in spring now, a cold one but still spring, I went and got another set of oem wheels, then chucked on some thicker winter tyres.

Tho if you use a decent sealer / rim wax. Wash them regular. Your wheels shouldn't handle too bad.

Thanks Steve

If this snow comes along again I'll be getting the tyres right away, otherwise I'm going to wait until the summer.

I known 19" aren't ideal for winter but they're reasonably lightweight for the size and look the mutts nuts! Will have a lot more grip than those Michelins fitted as standard.

Hadn't a clue Rob, would have dropped you a line had I known. Still, not far off at all, I can hardly complain.
