#1
I know that this has been covered a few times before !!
But I am having new rubber fitted tomorrow and have a choice dilemma..
On 17" wheels do I go for 205x45x17 or 215x40x17 ?
Quick answers please !!

Correct me if I am wrong but you can only buy I tyre in the 205/45/17 size and thats the pirreli pzero and they cost about £150 each but there is more choice, Bridgestone, Toyo, Falken etc available in the 215/40/17 @ about £100 each

Both sizes are fine.
As Jake says, there is far less choice in 205/45 (Pirelli PZero and Yokohama 520 are the only ones I know)
The 215/40 offers up a wider choice, including the highly rated Bridgestone S02s.
I'd go for S02s or Goodyear F1s in that size.

Fosters,
215/40 sits fine on the standard 7x17 rims. You do have to drop to the 40 profile tho, as a 215/45 could give problems.
I'm pretty sure the car has 205/45 as standard for 17" cos Prodrive have a deal with Pirelli, and that's the best match from the PZero range.

I thought that the only choice on 205x45x17 were pzero or yoko's (I had them previously).
But Ive just been offered Falken's at a good price.
Does this sound right ??
