Yes in a word. They are what I am running on my SE.Good evening
Am I right in thinking 71/2J X 17 ET32 in 5 X 100 will fit? With 205/45 tyres?
If the wheels are from a TT Will the standard A2 bolts fit or will different ones be needed?
Many thanks
I'm surprised the tyre fitters 'care' about the tyre size, I don't believe they have any right to police which tyres you choose. As you seem to be in need of new tyres I'd be inclined to ask them to fit the 195/45's though I'd be looking for a new tyre fitter. Curious, which tyres were you buying(brand and model).Hi can anyone help me please?
I need new tyres and currently have 185/50/R16 81v. I need new ones and was struggling to find places that had these. If I put my number plate in, it came up with others including 195/45. I looked on here and it seemed as though that was OE for the A2 so I ordered them.
I just went to have them fitted and they said 195/45 is not OE for A2's and you can only have one size of tyre and for mine it is 185/50/R16
I'm now confused as if cars can only have one size of tyre per when size, what is this list for please?
I must admit that I'm losing my love for Mabel a little at the moment. I've spent £800 on a stainless still exhaust that has failed to sort the cat fault code and now I've spent £350 on new tyres that I can't have fitted so she will now fail her MOT tomorrow. The temptation to get a personal lease on a Fiat 500 for £160 a month is quite strong. At the moment
Sorry for being so grumpy
Thank you. He was adamant that they couldn't fit any tyres that weren't the same size as the ones on it. He said a wheel can only have one size of tyre fitted on it. That's what confused me about the list st the dart of this thread - why there were so many different ones, if only one will fit. I'm not 100% sure he knew what he was talking about.I'm surprised the tyre fitters 'care' about the tyre size, I don't believe they have any right to police which tyres you choose.

I'm generally prone to buying tyres and having them fitted by a garage I trust(usually cheaper). Good luck.
P.S. No need to apologise for being grumpy, I'd be livid if that happened to me.
As you know, he's talking nonsense. Maybe a call to Blackcircles would help. Again, I'd be livid, congratulations on not losing it. FYI Blackcircles CS is 01721 721800 , I'm certain a quick call will resolve the issue.Thank you. He was adamant that they couldn't fit any tyres that weren't the same size as the ones on it.

I bought the tyres through black circles (won't make that mistake again), so at the moment, ATS have tyres that I have paid for but can't get fitted.
I don't understand why everything has to be so complicated
Ah Thank you. I've rung them and they are going to ring me back soon hopefullyAs you know, he's talking nonsense. Maybe a call to Blackcircles would help. Again, I'd be livid, congratulations on not losing it. FYI Blackcircles CS is 01721 721800 , I'm certain a quick call will resolve the issue.
Teresa has paid for fitting already (Blackcircles). Can't imagine they (Blackcircles) will be too happy about the situation.The new tyres you have will fit on your car with no problems,if i was you i would take the car to another tyre fitter,maybe they wouldn't fit these tyres as you purchased them elsewhere
