looking for some help with tyre sizes on a Fiat **** lease vehicle, same as L200.
Im going to fit some 16in steel wheels with some A/T tyres for the winter and for shooting purposes but not sure what size to go with.
the factory tyres are 205/80/16 and i have some 16in steel wheels which are 6in wide.
Can anyone suggest what profile to go with please and would 225 tyres be the best width?
many thanks

If the factory fit is 205/80R16 then you might as well go for that size.On 6 inch rims you aren't going to benefit much by going for 225/75R16 tyres as they are only a few mm different in diameter than 205/80R16, but the choice is yours.

I really like the fiat ****.
I would stick with stock size personally. If anything happens and you've put none factory size tyres on they might get upset so I don't think the gain would worth the risk.
I've put general grabber AT3 on my amarok and am very pleased with them, they are better than the cooper discoverer at3 I had on my Isuzu, although a fair chunk more expensive.
If it's a lease vehicle be careful as they sometimes check the number on the tyre when you go for replacements and get upset if they don't match what they have on record. A friend of mine got in trouble for swapping tyres front to back to even wear Obviously it depends on the terms of your lease so just something to think about.
