Damo 85 0 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 currently i have some very low tread tyres on the front so time for a change.the current tyres are 205/50/15's, but i have been offered a set of yoko' A539's from a lad at work for free.not one to miss a bargain im just wondering if they will firstly fit, and secondly will it be ok running different tyre sizes on front and back axles??the yoko's are 195/45/15, and if i fit them, the rears would still be 205/50/15's... should i just by 205's myself or will these be ok?? (Rims are standard 15 inch solitudes) Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 coz speedo is set for 205/50 tyres. 195/45 ttyres are smaller so travel less distance per revolution Link to post Share on other sites
