can anyone explain what the stock size of tyres are for a 2000 Soarer ? I have just bought a soarer which is fitted with 205/55R16 tyres which, apart from looking very ordinary cause my speedo to be completely out - about 7% out. When I check tyre sizes by lake and model I am told that the standard size is 225/55R16 but the tyre placard inside the driver's door shows the following:
there is over 3% difference in the rolling diameter between the 225/55 and the 225/60 so which is it that will make the speedo accurate ?

The door placard is correct. I'm running 255/50 R16's and my speedo is basically spot on, at least when I drive past those speed signs that show you how fast you are going it always matches up.

AAAAAH... Wheels will fit, tyres are completely wrong however... way too high profile on the tyres
Yeah i noticed that when i put the wheel next to mine Half the reason for getting them was being able to get the tyres and use them as well.. but yeah.. not turns out they're off an RX350 or something similar
