would 215/40 be slightly better :boggle:

I want more rubber to soften the bumps like a cushion.

These are going on a mazda 323f so no problems with tyre sizes :cool:

Might have to shop around

^^^ yep had the same falken's too. crap in the wet, average in the dry (but they r a hard compound, budget tyre)

Currently have hankook K104's . Absolutely different league. much more like what i was expecting from a performance tyre :thumbs: Highly recommended

:! I found these tyres shocking in the wet, and not so good in the dry. And that was back when the car was a 1.4, now it's 2L just plain nasty. goodgear F1's are the future.

What car are you fitting the 17s to?

If it's a Corsa then try 195/45/17s - Pirelli do the PZero Nero's in this size.

Even 205/40 is a bit of a stupid tyre size for 17s on a Corsa, but it's the most cost-effective tyre for wheel and tyre packages.

I think big tyres look ugly round a rim.

Love the look of my 215/35/18's. Like a rubber band stretched round the rim, lol.

You do notice the loss of comfort though going from 205/40/17 to 215/35/18

Looking for new rubber for next year. At the moment i am on Falken 205/40/17.

Think i can get 215 on the rims. I would like to try 215/45/17 next year cos these are too thin and would like to increase the ride height a touch so my exhaust doesnt catch as much... so any suggestions
