Oh well, Im about 400 miles north of you!

Yeah, but there is no getting away from the fact the MINI is a good all round car cant comment on the Pug cos Ive never driven one!

If I had one or knew anyone with one in the area then I would do the test Anyone?

Never tried the top end when I had mine! But there will be more drag from the tyres since theyre wider but could be a whole host of things though! Have you really tested the acceleration?? I couldnt tell I was any slower until I actually tried and it really did show!! I must admit the 195s are...

Performance figures?? As everyone knows thats all that matters ;)

Mines £700 which I have to say Im pretty pleased with!

Has that gone up or down?

I think it would depend entirely on the circuit. There was another Autocar group test where the 172 beat the CTR round the track. Long straights suiting the CTR whereas tight bends would probably suit the 172

195 tyres will not fit a 7.5" rim thats fact!! There is a standards body out there (cant remember the name but all manufacturers adhere to it) that says 195 is the narrowest tyres you can put on a 7" rim so that rules out 7.5"

That CTR pic in not standard it had had body modification. I like the CTR but Im not a fan of its looks but thats not to say it isnt good looking. Every one has different tastes some dont like the look of the clio!

7X17" ET42 no problems at all with clearance. They are the same width diameter as the originals give or take a few mm.

Yep definiately stick to 195/45/16!! 205s will shaft acceleration!

What is the standard tyre size?

The top one looks like mine :D I think its a fake! There is a photo of the Cup just like that and it could have been modified to be silver.

Im liking those twin exhausts though ;)

Was looking at the cliors.com site and it has some info about a new 172 variant. The altavista translation is a bit weak but here goes... Fruit of the partnership of Renault with Sony, CLIO RS PS2 is a special series with weak diffusion based on the reduction of the equipment. It thus takes...

Try michel devers they had contis for about £50 last time I phoned.

You could put wider ones on but you would have to go for 40 series tyres so not to affect acceleration. i.e increase tyre diameter. I wouldnt really reccomend it though. The best match would be a 215/40R16 but that is much wider will tramline really bad and it may rub plus more expensive...

So they are exactly the same as the wheels you have taken them off so there should be no difference at all. The 172 alloys are 7x16"

You can stick the Contis anywhere you like! I swapped mine over no probs but I think its best to buy 2 new tyres cos its a lot cheaper than 4 new tyres!!

Its been around for a while that one. My local Renault dealer had it for months they must have shifted it when they couldnt sell it!!

That car used to be at my local dealer! Knew I recognised the registration. What is the dealer called? It was up for £19,995 then down toe £18,995

Yep just checked they all work fine! But for a minute they seemed like they werent

LOL:oops: OK so at the minute they dont!!!! **Edited - Yes they do**

They still work for me!

Have you not got a side on pic?? Doesnt quite look right using this angle photo. Plus you cant see the disks through the wheel so its a bit misleading http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1054543316__1.jpg
