tyre advice please.
« on: 21 May 2011, 00:03:21 »
Just bought a set of softstar 17" wheels and has got 215/45/17 on. Looking at them on they look to small on the car any idea what size would be suitable also best tyres for protecting edge of rim from kerb. Many thanks :) >:(

Best Tyres generally (in my experince) are Contis.
They have very good rim protection.
After that Potenzas and then Pirelli for Rim protection.

Have you tried Alloy Gators for whopping rim protection? www.alloygators.co.uk You might find them good for that

Size for 17's as mentioned already
