Question

Been offered a set of Toyo's for 16" wheels.......VERY cheaply...

But they are 205/55/16 rather than the usual 205/50/16, will there be much difference in the way the car handles / feels with these on?

I need new tyres as my Pirelli's are a) shafted and b) pony.

Thumbs up

I've run on 55 for the last few months with no problems for the same reason.

Likewise, bought in error but running them anyway - no probs in the last 6 months.

obviously they will effect the speedo reading slightly as the rolling radius is different
