Looking for Tyres

[Hodgie]

I've just purchased a new corolla sportivo. Don't really like the looks of the tyres and would like to get a new set. I'm finding it hard to find tyres to fit 195 55 R16!! Can I put any other size on the stock rims, or should I be looking for new tyres and wheels. If so are there any suggestion as to what sizes will fit under the guards?

I reckon that the stock tyres are great, so unless you plan to increase the size of your rims I think you should stick to the current rubbers. Spend it on a CAI or something. Or even a Unichip, better value in my opinion.

you can try dunlop and goodyear for 195/55-R16. remember to match or greater the load rating on the new tyres for safety and roadworthy.

i cannot recall any japanese manufacturer with 195/55-R16.

there is a set of sportivo wheels for $1,400 in melbourne. i think the shop is willing to sell just the tyres for $700. the wheels have travelled 5 km and they were traded in.

there is a sportivo in sydney on 19" wheels.
