Hi all

Can anyone tell me what tyre profile 15" stock alloys had on an Ibiza sx ?

Thanks

thanks for your help, i kind of need an exact answer though, otherwise I might be going faster than my speedo says

Thanks

Well, i originally had the 14" steel wheels on my car, which had whatever profile on them, either way when i put the SX alloys on with that profile (Which i believe to be standard) i know the speedo reads SLOWER than what i am going, by 3.1% meaning when speedo reads 60 i am doing 61.9mph.

Thinking about it i think it was 55 profile, gimme 5 and i'll go check!

Just looked, 195/55/15 and speed rating of 85V

When i change my tyres though i will be going with 50 profile as when my speedo reads 60mph ill be doing 59.8 so much more accurate.

Should see me at speed cameras, i pass two on the way to work (plus a mobile camera hot spot) and three on the way home plus the camera hot spot. :| Thats in a 7 mile eitherway drive! Always stick to speed limits and quite a way under for cameras! Don't fancy points on my shiny driving license card

Do you have an SX mate or you put the alloys on your ibiza?
