Recommended Posts

Hi just looking for some info we spent a small fortune about 7 months ago on tires on the other hafs car. But we're now getting rid and it's not even dun 2000 miles on them.

Were as the ones on mime are new  but buget her are mitchelin pilot sport's 3 225/45 zr17  were as mine are

205/45 zr17 would it be a straight forward swap I apologise in advance if this question sounds stupid

Should be a straight swop however dependant on your wheel width you may feel a little bit of lateral movement when cornering with the tyre wall not being upright if the tyre is wider than the wheel. I felt it going from 205's to 235's a few years back

Hi thanks ye I'm just starting to get to grip with these tires number I think 235 that's a nice wide tire what did it do to the handling. Iv been told it slows down excelration but is better for top speed don't know if there any truth in that tho

This would only relate to total rolling diameter and the affect is has on gearing.
