Thema OEM Tyres
« on: 24 July, 2009, 08:22:50 AM »
Does anyone know what makes of tyres Thema's were supplied new with?

I'm about to buy a new set for "Guido" and would like to fit something 'correct'.  ::)

Don Cross kindly let me know that his Thema came new with Michelins.  Thanks Don!

This weekend I fitted a new set of Michelins with the correct (195 - 60) profiles and what a difference - a lot less tramp and bump than the 205 - 60s the car had when I bought it.

Guy,
Had the same problem with one of my 2.0ie Dedra's when I put on 195x 50x 15's with a new set of Dedra Turbo wheels, filled the wheelarches a treat, but completely Buggered up the ride ::)
Obviously a different suspension set up with Dedra Turbo that they were meant for.
