Tyre sizes

[scorling]

I have bought some standard alloys to put on the car while I have the current alloys refurbished.

 

The rears are marked as 16 8 JJ 50, which I understand to be the standard size, with the tyre size recommended as 245 50ZR 16. Problem is you cannot get a tyre in that size anymore apparently.

 

Has anyone else got wheels that size and managed to find the recommended tyre (if so from where please?), or if they have fitted a different size tyre, what size is it?

try eBay, I sold 2 sets of tyres for 16" wheels on there recently, and at the time there were others selling tyers of the same size.

Thank you, nothing on there at the moment but I will keep looking

rears are 9JJ fronts Are 8JJ.

 

Nearly impossible to get a few places had them when I was looking and unfortunately only ones I could get were Federal ss595 which don't get the best reviews. I got them from a local distributor worked ouit at £65 each fitted. Got them from these guys

This place has Hercules all season tyres, (canadian brand) nearly got them but went up by £30 overnight, which would have put them over a £100 just for a few months

These tyres were fitted to older camaros so you may get more info on american car forums
