ANOTHER person who doesn't understand how tyre sizes work, and misuses the term 'low-profile'

Ok sorry, i need tyres with a lower sidewall. currently the tyres are 205/55's which gives you a sidewall of 4.4inches and a diameter of 24.9inches.
Whereas the tyres i am getting are 205/45's, which gives 3.6inches of sidewall and diameter of 23.3". which will be as close as i can to the original 175/65 on 14inch rims. Although i will still have a difference of 1.3%.
Stop knowing everything about everything and gives n00bs some slack. you could've just explained in a polite manner.

its not pink, its boreal red, in my opinion one of the nicest colours for a bravo when its clean and sniny...mine is the same colour, started as a 1.4 but is now a 1.6 beast!

Get some Pirrelli P-zero nero's.
Don't get the P-zero rosso's, I have them and they seem to be 'all or nothing' type grip.
