Carat alloys tyre size

Post by maccast25 »

Hi guys

What size tyres are you all running on standard 14" carat alloys.
What wheel nuts or studs?

I have the VW pepperpot alloys they are the same size as the carats. my tyres are 205x70x14s
You don't need longer studs and bolts. But I did a stud conversion on the fronts.

I've got Carats and yes they are 205/70 R14. I have Nexen CP661 98T XL tyres fitted and they've been fine. The Semperit Comfort-Life 2
205/70 R14 98 T XL were a comparable option at the time. But I bought them years ago and maybe there are some better options now?

Hi, does anybody have a pic of the Carat alloys please?  I have a set of genuine vw alloys and thought they were the Carats, clearly not as they are fitted with 185 r14 80.

Thanks.
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?
