The mk1 3 is 215/45/18 standard, I believe the 6 is the same and the mk2 possibly 225/45/18? Either way 225/45/18 is fine. Most opt for 225/40/18 but that's because they are usually much cheaper but depending on the price diff I'd rather have 225/45.

Yeah I've just this week had 4x new uniroyal rainspout 3's fitted... Was advised on going for 225/40/18 which made the tyres £15 per tyre cheaper, So was £64 per tyre plus fitting but well worth it
