Area Representative IanW Posted May 7, 2015 Author Area Representative Share Posted May 7, 2015 Thank you all for the suggestions.I need to check the details, but it looks like the reason I have to use a spacer on the front hubs when using the A048s (185/60R14) is that they have a larger diameter than the CR500s (195/45R15) that I usually run.I'm now looking for some tyres that will fit without the spacer. Current options arre A048s (185/55R14), which are only available in Medium hardness. Or I could fit Toyo Proxies T1-R (195/45R14) which are cheaper.The Nankan NS 2R (185/60R14) is reported to have a 13% larger contact patch. This, I assume means that the tyre is 'squarer' in profile and because of the spacer problem mentioned above may not fit the front without a larger spacer.Descisions, descisions... Regards, Ian.

Michael H Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hi Ian,I've got the 888s on my 14" wheels: 185/60 on the front, 205/55 on the rear. They work very well and don't need spacers. I think I prefer them to the CR500s on 15". The 888s performed well at Folembray last weekend Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
