Hi,

I ran 215 45 17 Goodyear asymmetric 2's on my old p1 (going from the standard 205 45 17). Initially it felt a bit weird and bouncy/floaty but did settle down after about a week, or I got used to it... I had to bend my mudflap brackets a little as the tyres scrubbed on them, but no other fitting issues.

Chris.
