Default Good as new but what size

I have got a new/old set of alloys that was rattle can sprayed black so I sent them out for a refurb, now they look brand new.

I need new tyres now but I'm not sure on the size I need so can anyone help.

Does anyone know what the car came with

Is it 205/55/16
Or 205/50/16

205 50s it is then, that's a bit of a pain as they don't do half the tyres I want like p0 or f1s, I'll have a hunt see what I can find.

Cheers

Bridgestone re002 maybe what your after,
The later Sti v5/6 that used these wheels all ran potenza.
I use potenza re070 on my Sti Rims (17in) and love them

Is it a toy, or do you use it every day?
if its a weekend only car + something for the ring then see if you can find a nice trackday/semi slick tyre, they might only last 4k but you will get some sexy af grip from them!

I wouldnt buy yoko


Dam they are cheap at this size! :- lit bit of extra tyre wall good at the ring, for bounce over curbs! but will through speedo out

At correct size more expensive
