tyres for my gb270
 

Am looking at getting some new tyres for my gb270 on there at the moment is 225 - 40 - 18 but wen i go on several car sites it says should be 235 - 40 - 18 which is right please??

How wide are the rims mate, I have 235/40-18 on 7.5" wide no problems.

am not sure they are the gb270 prodrive wheals if that helps?

GB270 Tyres
 

Standard width is 225x40x18 - On the wagon these width tyres will 'nudge' the rubber wheel arch surround but miss the actual wheel arch iteself - 235 tyres would hit the metal of the wheel arch (not sure on the saloon though?) when cornering hard or heavily loaded.

Also found that 235x40x18 or 225x45x18 tyres were a bit cheaper than the standard fit - not sure why really.

Got Michelin PS3's on mine now - better in the wet than the Pirelli's and considerably better in the snow. They have a better wear rate as well. Perform much the same in the dry but are not as sharp feeling as the Pirelli PZero (MO) or Goodyear Asym's.
