    205 to 195 tyres - difference in handling?

    I know there's a similar thread about this referring to track tyres however I'm asking about road. Just changed wheels from 182 alloys on 205/45 to 172 cups on 195/45 and the car seems to handle totally different? The back end seems a little looser and in a way unstable, is this normal?

    Radio signal always searching?

    Recently I've been having issues with most radio stations apart from radio1.

    Vibration from boot/bumper area when driving at low revs?

    I've got a really annoying vibration coming from the boot/bumper area when driving at low revs. I know the parcel shelf is known for this but that's not the issue. Could this just be flex in the rear bumper caused by vibrations from the exhaust?
