195/65 x 15 at present, this was the standard factory fit size as this car left Rover. My reason for changing the wheels was two-fold, one I am not that keen on the style of wheels, they have the odd mark in them as well (and I hate imperfection) and I thought I would go up an inch to try and correct the speedo error as it is rather silly to be 10mph out at 70mph. Another person on the forum said, "well it will stop you getting a speeding ticket", but to be fair, I will know it is wrong and then calculate what it should be, better to be somewhere near accurate I feel than having to drive along thinking about what it may be. Thank you for your input, it is VERY welcome!
