Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
not ideal...
the difference between 205*0.45 and 205*0.55 is pretty big!!!
you're looking at over 4cm difference in diameter.

not ideal. your tc/abs system may go bonkers due to the fact that the outer diameter of the tyres is different thus it thinks 2 wheels are constantly spinning/slipping.Originally Posted by hazrd

Fair enough.
Finally made my indecisive mind up. Based on my budget and factoring costs from interstate etc .. going to the guys at Advance Tyres in Richmond for a couple of Goodyear Eagle F1s on the polo (on special 139ea) and a couple of KU31s for the Astra (160ea)

Harzd... seems like a reasonable deal, esp on the F1s..

There is also a $100 "on the spot" cash back deal from Bob Jane when one purchases 4 new Bridgestone, Michelin, or Yokohama tyres. Tyres must be fitted by close of business tomorrow: see www.bobjane.com.au.
Just wanna flag this for those of us here who may be finding the extra cost of these tyres hard to justify (like me!), and can get to a store that has their required tyres in stock, some time today or tomorrow...

OK, sick of looking at good tyres only to be let down by their speed rating
Need 225/40/18 93Y, good tyres only, not worried about price really but they need to perform and last so no motorsport tyres

Yeah, has to be 93Y, not just for insurance and roadworthy, but because tyres are payed for under the lease plan, they won't sign off on anything other than a correct tyreIt's an absolute pain!
