I'm trying to work out if I have the original profile tyres on my car and what will fit under the current guards.
My present tyres are 195/45R15 front tyres with 225/40R16 rears.
The rears are my major concern as newer cars have 225/45R16 tyres. Ben has the later tyres but had to raise his rear guards to fit them. His guards are Atom 2 style, mounted off the uprights, where mine are not.
I've also asked the factory . Tom seems to think the Atom 1 should have been shod with 225/45R16 on the rear but can not be 100% sure.
I'd really like to make sure I get it right as I have to pay in advance (non refundable) to get some tyres bought into NZ and would prefer to get the correct ones.
So do any of you very early Atom 1 owners recall what tyres were on your cars?
