I recently bought some brand new dunlop sport 01 4d winter tyres 195/65 r15 for golf tdi as thought would be ahead of the game this year for snow and was actually looking forward to trying out due to excellent reviews but since and unexpectedly traded up for yeti. Is there any possibility of getting some 15 or 16" steels to fit my yeti and still use these tyres? I currently have the 17in 225/50 r17 dunlop sport 01 wheels on yeti and not sure if winter tyre side walls would be strong enough. Any views if able to use or need sell on?

If getting new winter tyres any suggestions on where to get reasonable tyres (eg eiretyres / mytyres etc)and place to get cheap steels to suit. Happy to go down to 15" or 16in rims in effort to keep costs down if suitable for car. Tyres would need to have reasonable wear etc due to mileage requirement so maybe trade off on price and quality.

Hi Oilrag

Please post this in the tyres section before we get told off again

Go to forums and scroll down. There is a complete section just for tyres.

TP did an excellent tyres and wheel guide which is the Yeti technical section, it lists every possible tyre and wheel combo

Just to add the tyres you have are significantly smaller than the 16" Yeti fitments which are 205 and 215. The Yeti is not suitable for a 15" fitment. In the tyre section you'll find lots of views and in the pinned threads at the top of this page you can find a comprehensive post by the plumber which sets out all known approved Yeti tyre/wheel combinations.

thanks rockhopper for the heads up - post moved.

Thanks for views guys will check out 'correct' forum.
