   So looking at getting some sticky tyres for when taking the VTR out on track but finding it difficult to track any down for the size on my car, 185/50/14 I think they are off the top of my head i cant remember exactly what they are they're on a 1998 Ph1 saxo vtr with standard alloys.
   
   Would it be worth changing to 15"s? and if so what alloys could i change to for a straight swap?
   
   Thanks in advance!

   Stock 14" alloy tyre size is 185 55 14.
   
   You need to get the correct offset and pcd, and run a 195 45 15 tyre.
   The 15" S alloy is an easy swop!

   Easy swap, and you will gain better handling from a lower profile tyre. Might even save some money because the VTR alloys are an odd size.
