    Tyres for 7j alley cats on standard mk2 escort

    Hi,

    ive always just had 5.5j mex steels on my car, but it’s time to have a change.

    picked up some alley cats, but I have no idea what tyres I should get, the car is lowered by 2 inches

    thanks.

    That’s the problem, seeing lots of different sizes talked about online.

    Ok so what info are you actually after then ?.
    My suggestion has given you 2 very useable tyre sizes to look at.
    The choice is yours.

    Indeed 195/55 fit very well if you can find that size
