235/40 (820wrpm) and 245/40 (811wrpm) are either side of the ideal 817wrpm

225/45 (804wrpm) is a bit further away, but will give better handling.

Omega PCD is 110...  ...some muppet had forced PCD112 on my old tractor, handled like a pig, as the vibration couldn't be cured. Replaced with correct wheels, perfect again :)
