Re: Rear Tyre Size

not on the ground yet but here in the US for my T4 with the stock norge rim I found this made in Indonesia: 175/55 R17 Achilles (oddly inappropriate name) ATR-K Economist ... $57 plus ship https://www.tires-easy.com/175-55-17/achilles-tires/atr-k-economist/tirecode/MAN175517 achilles-atr-k-economist...
