Hi,

I know there is a tyre section but it's a long thread and need a quick repsonse if possible.

My front tyres are 215/45/16 and there isn't much choice.

However if i look up 215/40/16 there are loads to choose from and around half the price.

Can i run 215/40/16 up front instead of the 215/45/16?

Suely the ride wouldnt change that much from a 45 to a 40 profile?

There other alternative is a wider profile tyre, 225/45/16 there is still loads of choice bit more pricey than the 215/40/16 but still lots cheaper than the original 215/45/16.

I'm guessing the orig size is a rare/odd size setup hence why there isn't much choice and loads more than tyres with subtle change i.e. slightly wider or lower profile.

Thanks.
