hi wondered if any classic owners are running 205-40-17 size tyres as i have been offered a set of parada spec 2 at a good price ,
the question is are they very harsh due to a very shallow sidewall ?

,im back on the original 205-50-16 falken 452 7j rims, but i would prefer to go to 17 inch newage wheels as the car felt much better when i last used them, on the 16s i feel every bump in the road at the moment
my set of 17s are low on tread hence the swap and they are 215-45-17 re050.
ps im still running standard uk struts and springs all round ,
thanks in advance Dave

I find 215/45/17 tyres perfect on a classic.

Mind you I did come from 215/35/18s and you really do feel every bump with them!!

205/40/17 are a hell of a lot cheeper and actually closer to origional jdm spec i run ventus v12 with no probs and its not a harsh ride

I've just put 205/40/17 on my car as camskill had some good offers on and I haven't noticed that much of a difference from the 205/50/16 wheels and tyres that I took off of it. Have got to say though that the roads around my area are so fooked I ain't got much to guage it against at the moment fella.
