The difference between an 215 and a 225 on a 8j wheel is tiny as in they look exactly the same!

Thanks Joe  :happy2:  I think it might have to be 205's then.
I have narrowed it down to 4 tyres, decision now is which??

Hankook Ventis S1 evo XL £95 ish

Dunlop Sport Maxx RT MFS £117 ish

Pirelli PZero £122

Mitchelin Pilot super sport XL £126 ish

Remember the car spends it life on the motorway and not the track!

Iv got 914s i think on one set, 452s on current winter set and some random nankangs on another.

Happy with the 914s, quite quiet and good mpg. I think you can only get 914s in 215 though.
