Tire Size Questions on 850R 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Malcolm on  Mon Apr 15 13:46 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I bought a 95 850 turbo wagon a year ago with 205/55-16 Dunlop SP Sport 4000 A/S tires and they fit fine. I have the original window sticker and it was originally delivered with Michelins of the same size. There is some slight evidence of rubbing in the wheel wells but I haven't noticed any while I've had it. Might have been earlier tires. You'll be fine with those.

What I want to know though is would the Dunlop SP Sport 5000 Assymetric's also be OK? Tire Rack's comparison charts show they have 0.2 inch more section width and 0.6 inch more tread width. These are cheaper and apparently better in almost every aspect according to those charts, and W-rated too!

Any experience anyone?
