Question 225/35/18 to 215/40/18??

Has anyone done this before?

There are some damn good deals on 215/40/18 at the moment and wondered if it was ok to change to this size without causing any problems?

thanks

chris

You could use this link above & see how much it will affect your speedo accuracy.

How cheap are the tyres?

Toyo
Summer tyres PROXES T1-R
225/35 ZR18 87Y RF Rim-protection, NEU, With mytyres.co.uk only £ 103.70

Thats each for a set of four delivered but not fitted.

Fitting about £30 I'd guess.

Useful site www.mytyres.co.uk
