Replacements needed for Yokohama DNA dB Decibels
I had a similar problem a few months ago, but couldn't replace the tyre immediately (4 month wait on stock arriving from overseas). however, a slightly smaller profile was readily available, so bought two and put them on the front. When you come to upgrade time, look for 195/ 16s and put them on the...

help! ARE MY WINTER TYRES TOO BIG?
Hey Glen, how long have you had the Toyo T1-R 16s? I got mine in 2006 , they still look brand new - except for the one that blew out on the motorway......which they cou;dn't replace without a 4 month wait.... so now I've got 205x16 on front, and 215x16 on back.

a good spot is behind the driver's seat, vertical, on the pillar where the seatbelt hides. Depends on how far your seat goes back of course!

and ignore the obvious biased prejudices from "some" people :
don't buy a black one, they show the dust.
Blue ones are faster, and if you add stripes they go even faster!

I bought mine ten years ago with a leaky exhaust. Pit Stop in Grey Lynn suggested removing the cat along with the leaky bits, so I got them to put a 2 1/4 inch stainless steel pipe all the way to the back - it's still there. Slight improvement noted in power - something to do with less back pressure...
