Well, think about this one - the same radial tyre could equally fit a late-model VW Beetle or an early VW Golf. One has a big empty space above the front wheels and is powered at the back, the other has a ruddy great engine slung above the front wheels which drive at the front.

Believe me, pump the tyres up to the tyre manufacturer's maximum tolerance levels and you WILL feel the difference. The Bug will also try to hurl itself at the scenery at the slightest whim, while the Golf will indulge in snap turn-in.

Perhaps if Sunflower could furnish us with the model and year of the car in question, perhaps someone with a manufacturer's service schedule might be able to help.
