    Morning folks. I know this topic comes up a lot but it's just not something I can ever get my head around.

    I've got a set of winter tyres (215/55 R16's) that are in my garage and my new Coop comes with 16" Victory spoke alloys. I believe they come with 195/55 R16's. Would it be possible to get my winters on these or not?

    Thanks in advance for any help. I have scoured the internet for answers but they always seems to assume that the person reading understands the question in the first place :)

    Neil - all to do with keeping the rolling radius within 3% plus or minus. Use a tyre size calculator http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html. Your sizes won't work as it will put the speedo out too much
