Tigz™ Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 The only tyre size to use for the bathhurst is 205/45/15 i thought..these are the size of mine and i am just getting around to changing from the original tyres from brand new I have two Dunlop SP9000 for sale.

leddy Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 you can use the 195 45 tyres with no problemsso these would be fine then. how much does the extra width of a 205 tyre effect handling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Bit more grip, little less turn in speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Bit more grip, little less turn in speed.so would you say the extra money for the 205 ones is worth it? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) its always good to try something yourself to see how it feels. if you havent tried the 205 before then go for it. then each time after that you can choose the tyre size you know is just right for you.

Joe Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Jens GTi came with 205s on the bathursts, but her white bathursts have 195s on. Can't really tell the difference. IMO they look slightly better with 195s a the profile is slightly less style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryn Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I'm trying to find some of the correct size tyres as well and it's a real nightmare!Most people don't stock them unfortunately, even Dunlop don't have any in and aren't planning to make any more for a month or so.I can get two for about £100 each style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 have a look on mytyres mate, see what listings they have, as joe said theres no real difference between the 205 and 195 tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 yes mytyres will nearly always stock the toyos in 205/45/15. and will be half the price your talking of, about £50 each! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
