Hi guys,

Appologies if this has been mentioned before - I did search...

I am trying to choose tyres for my sons SLR wheels with hubcaps and am trying to decide which size tyre to buy.

185/70/13 is one option? 205/60/13 is another.

Does anyone have any pictures?

Thanks in advance!

185/70 in my opinion. 205's look wrong on 5.5inch rims IMO.

The 185/70 would be the better fit, but both are legal fitments.

They are a bit pizza-cutter'ish. I kind of wish I went 205 to be honest. But these are the closest to original size.
