Title: Difficulty finding tyres for Facelift MR2
Post by: Wilf on February 4, 2012, 18:13

Front 185 55 R15
Rear 215 45 R16

So no problem getting tyres generally, but getting the same on all wheels seems challenging.
I know people like the Toyos, but I can't find the right sizes in a brand that people have recommended.

What do others do?

Thanks,

Wilf

you will struggle with the rears, widen your search to 225/40/16 and it gets easier

Thanks.

Wont the rolling radius difference cause issues with the speedo and millage? Do people just not worry about it?
