what size??

i've had 3 brand new tyres (cant afford 4th till next week ;D) for mine, bearing in mind mine's a slow-mobile 2.0 but its on 17s, i get federals from budget 235/45/17 at £60 a corner

Have you told your ins you're on 17's ::)

Also, your speedo will be out. Have a look here:

original factory fit were 16s, speedo is still within regulation, insurance know about the alloys (facelift elite) and have classed them as "optional extra" and not "mod"

I suspect they were made by Nokia!! (yes beleive it or not, 100% truth, Nokia before making phones, used to make tyres, and might still do by the sound of it!)

here's nokia's old old old logo!!
