there's no sound reason for fitting tyres over about 195 section width on something like Omega

I'm pretty sure the R&D guys at Vx wouldn't have wasted millions in deciding that a 225 section was required if that is the case.

if you are not entering a curve with 100 mph, 225 wont be necessary  

Any chain is only as strong as it's weakest link 

If the engine is capable of pushing the car to 130mph, then I (not unsurprisingly) expect every other component to be capable of coping with it as well.

that's kinda the point I was making - the marketing people will decide the tyre size and then the engineers will de-bug the system to make sure there's no real problems. Especially the case for an evolutionary design, rather than a revolutionary design.

I've been there a number of times

Well im currently running 235/45/19 Pirrelli P Zero's with 34psi of pressure. Im taking her to be tracked in a weeks time after that im sure i wont have a clue what it is!

I will let you all know the outcome once i get her back.

Thanks again for all your words of wisdom i cant thank you enough

Ahh! A topic broached many times on here. Dare I suggest that it's endemic with the car design. I love my car to bits, but ever so occasionally when driving on the back roads around here it seems to want to take over, with a mind of it's own, and steer where "it" wants to go!
