    850 tyres ....what sizes

    Hiya all
    currently have 205/55/16 on my 850 and was wondering what other widths/ profiles may fit as i am going to replace all four tyres

    Cheers Frosty

    i'm going for 225/45/16's, but 225/50/16's will give exactly the same rolling radius as your current ones so the speedo will still read correctly

    Think that is the standard size, I also run 205/55/16's on mine simply to try and isolate my backside from all the potholes and poor resurfacing we seem to have in fens !
    Old Car: 855 T5 in Grey and rust (dead and gone, well, most of it !
    Missus' ride: Citroen C4 coupe 1.6 HDi,
    Modifications: Nowt.....yet !
    Daily driver: 855 R in Black,
    Currently nursing a blown head gasket, new engine on its way !
    Recent addition: Freshly imported Honda Stepwagon,
    Slowly turning into a camper van !
