Yep, ran exactly those on the standard 16" 6-spokes on my SE. No issues at all and, as has been pointed out, very accurate speedo.Has anyone used 185/55/16 tyres on standard A2 alloy wheels?

I ran with 195 55 16 on my 75Tdi SE for the first five years of ownership but have recently replaced them with 185 50 16, which I believe is the factory spec. My observation is that the 195s overgear the A2, making it virtually impossible to use 4th gear in 30 mph zones, where I do a lot of my driving. Since changing to the smaller tyres, I can use 4th much more frequently in built up areas, acceleration in all gears is improved and the car handles even better than before on faster winding roads. If your use is predominantly away from 30 mph zones, the 195s would be fine but, otherwise, it's a choice between price and the benefits of 185s that I've mentioned.? My 55 plate 75tdi SE standard alloys has 185 55 16 tyres fitted. Can I swap them for 195 55 16? @Robin_Cox seems to have this size fitted. Very slightly deeper and I can get some good ones at a bargain price.
What would be the correct tyre pressures for the 185/65/16's please ?
Sorry they are 50.....no idea where I got the 65 from !
Thanks
