Size Variation.

[Scousefella]

Our recommended siz on a standard wheel is 205/45/17.

What variations are possible with no safety risks?

215/45/17

205/40/17

and on..............................................................

Your opinions please. 8)

The only size I would recommend on the OEM wheels without throwing off the speedo or fouling the wheelarch is 215x40R17.

205/40/17 - would they be safe enough if I was offered some at a good price?

 

[Awesam]

225 40 18 is spot on with the speedo.

225 35 18 is much closer than that to the stock rolling circumference.

Just collected a pair of Brand Spanking New Avon ZZ1's for £50. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

My first ever Ebay Purchase. :lol:

 

[Awesam]

Are Avon tyres any good?

are they a Budget tyre?

for 18's the perfect size would be 225 35 18

can get Nankang's NS2 for about £70 per corner in that size or Avon ZZ3 for £110.

I think we need to have a thread which highlights how good a brand is on average.

We all know the tops are: Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Yoko's, Toyo.


I think we should a low and medium budget brand tyre thread!

OK, had the ZZ1's fitted and already the RE040's lack of grip is now a thing of the past.

OK, the "Stones" were at 2mm or less but as soon as the ZZ1's had a bit of temperature in them I could corner on throttle and hold the line. :wink:

So far so good. 8)

Glad those Pots lasted for 3-4 months

I will be replacing my 2 front tyres to (Falken FK451's size 215/45/17) after winter/spring as I still have 4-5mm on the current ones.

My rear tyres (Falken ZE512's size 215/45/17) are just over 3 months old and they are pretty good in the wet/dry (not sure about heavy snow/ice conditions?). :?
