What size tyres would i need to use with these on my Felicia?

eBay.co.uk: Vw Volkswagen 14 inch alloy wheels SEAT SKODA

cheers

bob.

god only knows what happened to the link, but at least it works

185/60/14 or,

175/60/14 or,

175/70/14.

thanks, will none of these affect my speedo accuracy?

Not really, no. Or only by marginal percentages, maybe 2% either way. I would opt for 185/60 as I know they use that size on the fabia on 14" steels.

if you put alloy advice into the forum search and folow the link, than follow the link to the site were he gets his tyers, and click on the advice section it shows you the tyers the manufactura recomenda ie. skoda.

165/60/14

if your putting alloys on you might as well put some wider rubber on. 185 looks good on a felicia.

185s make a big difference to the speedo readings

according to

Tyre Calculator | Alloy Wheels, specialist supplier of alloy wheels and tyres, nationwide delivery

depends on the % (next to the width in mm) move that up and down till the differance is 1.5% or less.

185/55/14 should be the best choice, but the tyre in that dimension would be more expensive than the 185/60.

3% error reading shouldn't be such big problem (it's 3km/h while driving 100km/h). Especially if your situation is similar to mine, where speedometer shows a bit faster than real speed, and with new tyres speedometer would show a bit lower speed than real

How about 15" wheels? Are the 195/50/15 to much for felicia (with 1,3 engine)?

the 195/50/15 should be ok.

if you have 165/70/13 go for 195/45/15. the differance is only -0.84. best to be on the safe side of the speedo.

You're right about safe-side speedo and 195/45/15 are the best choice by the calculator, but those tires are harder to find and cost more than 195/50 :(

I am more concerned about the width of tyre (195mm) on the car with 1,3 engine. On 13"s that car does not have much power, and on wide 15"s ... :confused:

IVe put 195 45 15's on a skoda favorit before, cooper tyres do a tyre that size and its not too bad on price. Whilst I couldnt recommend the increase in size and weight of wheel for on the edge handling or precision driving they arent disasterous.

You would find the suspension "bounced" more and you will feel bumps in the road more than before. You would find braking less efficient normally noticeably so, due to the gyroscopic effects of having more weight on the wheel closer to the outside edge. It also takes the "edge" of the acceleration but doesnt kill things completely. In rain you might find things slightly worse than they were before and in the dry maybe a bit more grip. It might sound like a miserable picture but many drivers wont notice the effects that much.
