Will these tyres fit?
« on: 17 July 2012, 20:26:53 »
I've been offered two new Firestone firehawk TZ200 205/50/16 tyres with the possibility of 2 more. They are a lower profile and slightly narrower than the  225/65/16's fitted to my 2.2 f/lift CDX saloon. Can some kind person tell me if they will fit my CDX alloys and if so, are they suitable for my car? Many thanks  :y

 I would check the speed rating on them as well but I personally wouldn't use them.
