it will be written on the side wall.

Something like this..


235/45/17


The 235 means how wide it is as in 235mm

The 45 is the percentage of the sidewall as in the sidewall is 45% of the width

17 is the size of the wheel

225/45/17 as yours is an 05 model you will easily pick a complete wheel tyre package up on ebay, or here where someone changed wheels.

Great price Matt, I noticed they were even cheaper now. I paid 264 delivered back in April for the same size.

I always go to Supertyres, avoid the weekends if you can as they are pretty busy.
