What are your new tyres then ? I've recently put a pair of 205 45 17 88w BF Goodrich Profilers on the front of my T-Jet ! Better cold weather traction and grip than the original Bridgestone RE050 A's but a little less progressive at the limit ! They are meant to be good in the dry too ! Never really felt the need to go wider than 205 even though I drive it quite hard ! The front Bridgestones lasted 7700 miles lolTjet is 1200kg :S You dont know what the maximum payload of my new tyres are anyway :S
Didn't realise you could get 215 40 17 in 93 load too ! Most available in the UK are either 83 or reinforced 87 ! Did a search and found 3 tyres in this size and load ! Non listed for sale in the UK ! Where did you get them from and how much do they costive got goodyear eagle f1's, 215-40-17 93Y, brilliant tyres
Saw these for sale in sets of 4 or 2 at Ears on ebay ! Meant to be really good in the dry but a bit crap in the wet ! What do think so far ?Yokohama Parada Spec 2's

How do they fit under the arches ? Do they touch in anyway ?i have just gone up to 225/45/17 and they feel very good with continentals.
If you want tyres for your GP sporting in the standard size and money is no object then go for Michelin Pilot Sport 3, Pirrelli P-Zero Assemetrical ,Continental SportContact 3 or Bridgestone Potenza RE050A ! If you want to save a little money but still get a good tyre try the BF Goodrich g-force Profiler and Uniroyal Rainsport 2 as both are available in the standard size and have been given good reveiw on the tyreveiws site ! If you must go wider 215 45 17 is preferable because it's load rating is higher than the standard 88 unlike 215 40 17 which is lower ! 205 40 17 's load rating is also too low too
Found some Toyo's for £105 fitted. Any others you recommend under £100 fitted that are 205/45/17s?
Just a heads up for anyone based in the north, went to north eastern tyres and they quoted them fitted at £88 a tyre. Top service too. Their website was slightly more expensive than ringing up but still miles better than most places. www.nete.co.uk
Website says £97 fitted, they could have had my business a few months ago if they'd had £88 on their website. I ended up paying £80 each for mine from camskill, then postage + fitting makes it add up to £90 a tyre so can't complain really.
