Commercial Tyres

[andy11]

Finally decided on the tyres I need for the bay, 205/55/16 front and 225/55/16 back but finding it very difficult to get these sizes in a commercial tyre, any ideas? determined not to fit car tyres because it will invalidate the insurance. Just wondering if 225/55/16 will be anywhere near the original gearing for the speedo also?

Continental list 205/55R16C it has a rolling circufernce of 1928mm which is 2% smaller than a stock 185R14C

They dont do 225/55R16C but you can get 225/60R16C which has 2050mm circ which is 4% bigger than stock.
