Fed up of lack of tyres

MrNatural · Post by **MrNatural** » Thu Jan 09, 2020 1:40 pm

Seems I have a choice of Toyo or Falken due to lack of required sizes from same manufacturer, and I can't say I'm a fan of either make.
So, can I use 215 40 16 tyres all round without problems?

I use 205/45 R16s all round, which should give you a much wider choice.

Thanks Rob, I knew you would come up with an alternative

215/40/16 all round are a OEM and legal size. Any other size does not satisfy the C of C.
I used Goodyear until they ran out of the 10 year Life Limit.
Toyos changed their source of manufacture causing problems with non-compatibility.
I fitted Falkens, as many others did. My experience is nothing but praise.

On a TF be extra careful what tyres you fit

Hi Gavin,

I’ve used a variety of tyres in this size. I’ve just fitted Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (Blackcircles) but have not had a chance to put many miles on them as I’ve started pulling the car apart to bring it back up to a standard!

Generally the rule of thumb here is that any tyre with a stiff side wall (generally the high performance tyre of which ever manufacturers range you’re looking at) will likely work.

Oh and replace all four together - not worth trying to mix and match brands across axles.

On 16"I'd go for Yokohama, unfortunately no longer available for the 15"vvc wheels I prefer.

Hankook evo2 might also be an option.
I'm very pleased with them.
