Another Tyre thread

  1. Hi I have search through old threads but I'm after confirmation before I spend some cash I want to check I have got this correct,
    My 74 is fitted with 15" empi 5 I think the offset is et12 (could be wrong) And has been lowered

    Current tyres are : 195/50/15 82 H

    Now from reading up not only is the overall diameter allot smaller then the standard tyres so my speedo is out and top speed reduced but my main worry is the maximum load bearing is too low for my and I don't fancy a blow out

    I'm considering getting :195/65/15 95 H
    Is this a high enough load rating? I know they still won't have the same overall diameter as standard wheels but I don't want Clearence issues

    Any thoughts?
     
  2. 95 is fine on the front but right on the limit it for the rear
     
  3. thats my worry i cant find any 185/65 with a 95 load rating tho :-

    I hadn't thought of the size I used - it was kindly suggested above by someone on another forum
    Maybe there's a different size with same rolling diameter that's a light commercial tyre and your're missing it?

  6. That's great, I always use black circles and I as of yet have found that one,
    I think I will give them a try
