I have recently gone from 205/45x17 tyres to 215/40x17, do I need to get the wheels re-aligned ?
They were aligned at Powerstation with the old tyres on back in May (3,000 miles ago)
TIA

As much as guys like me want to take your money . If the old tyres were wearing fine and the handling is good a small change in tyre size means it will not be neccessary to get it realigned.

Cheers, they were worn on the front inner edges though, I suspect that this was due to the Prodrive geometry.

If they have worn on the inner edges. They need Toeing In a bit. Sounds like they are a bit Toe Out.
