I've just realised my car has 205/55's on the back and 205/50's on the front! The car came like this - why is that?
Is there any advantage/disadvantage to this?

I'm going to buy some eagle f1's to replace all 4 - what sizes should I go for?

Thanks in advance

Pete

Doubt theres any benefit to it.

I've just bought some 15's with brand new tyres on them, but there bloody 205/60's, just look silly might gett some 50's or 55's before they go on the car.

Go for the 50's and they look good..

55's are the standard fit..

50's on the front give better steering feel
