Does anyone know if I can just change the tyres or does the alloy need to change also. I really don;t like this tramlining sensation!
Nope, you don't have to change the alloys. Go to any tyre "shop" and they'll have you back on the road in 10 mins.
Lakeview,
Check with your garage. Chances are they wont recommend a change in alloys - You can get 17" alloys with 55m depth.
He hasn't mentioned what size alloys he's using but i suspect they are 17" minimum.
“If he's downsizing alloys”
As for 'anonymous' advice on the internet a/you're the only one providing incorrect info and b/it is, at least, without bias which you cannot guarantee from a garage with something to sell to him.
smcgiff said:If he has standard 16” alloys then the previous car could have had lower profile tyres, such as 45. He wouldn’t need to change alloys to put on 55m tyres. They would in fact be standard.
Is my above comment correct or not?
So if you change the rim diameter calculate the required change in tyre wall height to suit and the closest fit is the correct tyre to use
