Tyre size

[Johnalexander]

Hi , I've been given the codes 2553518 90w
And 225401888y. Does anyone know what this means?

It's the correct tyre size for a staggard set up. 255/35/18 rears & 225/40/18 fronts. The other numbers are the loading & speed rating I think. Hope this helps. Sure others will be along shortly to confirm.

What does staggered set up mean?

 

[DPG]

Usually the rears are wider than the fronts

 

[Johnalexander]

So is that normal ?

 

[Lillywhite]

Normal for sports cars.

Isn't it only the sport/M sport models that have staggered set ups?

 

[Bing]

Depends if a previous owner has changed the wheels, but yes, staggered wheels as standard on Sport models

I have the 2l sport. Would that set up be standard ?

Yep. Same as mine.
