:arrowu: :evil: BAStud! :evil: :arrowu:

:lol:

Seeing the tyre sizes on V6's old Polo reminds me of some of the rubbish tyres my old cars used to have. My Nova had 145R13 (until I changed them for 165s to get that "super wide" look :lol: ). IIRC the Fiat Uno had 135R13. Even my old Talbot Solara that weighed about the same as your average house only had 165R13. :? :lol:

Neh Neh!........I remember my 1986 XR2 had 185's so I was cooler that you Dai, with your 165's (mind you they were only 14'' wheels :lol: :lol: :lol: )

I remember getting some 15'' wheels for my Cav SRi and they were huge!!!!!!

At that time if someone had said 18'' wheels to you everyone would think of a beach buggy or something, let alone 20's :shock:

The other thing with the skinny tyres I suppose was the fact that your old cars used to weigh next to nothing! an old Nova was probably 850 Kg's?? now even a Ford Fessa weighs 1400Kgs :o
