good idea/bad idea

[stevo20]

buying two new front tyres tomorrow for da 172.

as you know the current standards are 195/45, jsu twondering could i put 195/40s on the front bearing in mind that the rear tyres are 195/45s

would it affect handling/ride quality.

 

[RobFenn]

Yes. Dont.

 

[Tom]

Bad.

 

[CocoPops]

Perhaps put 205/40s on?

Thats what the 182s run all round.

 

[Tom]

do they? news to me

205/45/16 Coco.

 

[stevo20]

only want to change the front ones, so the general consensus is dont do it, so i guess its boring old 195/45s, just out of curiosity would 205s fit on the standard rim?
