Hey guys,

Do a lot of miles in my punto and im looking to replace the shocking budget tyres that came with it. At the same time im considering going up a tyre size to increase the sidewall size and hopefully make it a bit comfier.

Car is on Eibach springs which I find are much comfier than the standard ones.

Have seen the 215/45/17 on a GP but not a 205/50/17. Anyone done it? 215 gives an extra 5.6% sidewall + 1.2% circumferance and the 205 gives an extra 11% sidewall and 3.3% circumferance.

Cheers:)

would be 3.3% larger curcumference resulting in 70mph on your speedo actually being 72.33mph
