Wheel & Tyre Sizes
Posted: 14 Jan 2012 10:55

The early coupe I'm restoring was fitted with some after market wolfrace alloys, the tyre size fitted was 205/60x13. Being an early 4-speed it would originally have had 175/70x13.
How do you work out the tyre sizes appropriate to wheel diameter to make sure the speedo reads correctly? Is there a formula?
