After some Bridgestone Potenza RE070 but in 235 x 45 x R17.
Can find plenty of 225x45xR17 but not 235 ?
Does anyone know where I can get any, or if not, will I be ok using 225, instead of 235.

PS - I know they're cack in this sort of weather, currently on my winter Nokians, but as it's starting to get warmer planning a head for a wonderous British Summer !

cheers

Forget about it.
225 070s are grippy enough anyways.

The 235's were only fitted to JDM STI's so you wont find them in this country unless you look for an importer like Litchfields who may have some in stock, just note that they will probably set you back more than the 225's price wise.

Thanks for the feedback folks,

sorry about getting back later, had something that needed sorting out - not being rude.

Will get myself a set of 225x45xR17 then, as 235's seem to be too rare and who's going to notice 10mm shorter anyway - that's the story I'm sticking to anyway

cheers

Have used Bridgestones for a few years - and I agree found them very very good with the only issue being tramlining particularly near the end of their life, but now living up near Buxton Derbyshire, and this winter have been caught out a few times on the "cat and fiddle" pass - part of my daily commute.

So got some Nokian winter tyres, which were exceptional in the snow, ice and cold. But since its starting to warm up a bit noticed that the nokians are moving around a bit, tread block and sidewalls don't like the mild weather.

Treated myself to another set of wheels, so now will run a winter set (with the nokians) for 3 months of the year, and the other 9 months get myself some RE070 225x45xR17.

There's a Subaru specialist in Surrey who used to get them from Prodrive, Are you that way (Area) ??
