If you love your 172 then dont get 205/40R17 tyres! Thats the only advice I can give. I learned from experience!!
Why not Paul - this is the size that all the wheel / tyre packages come with, and I cant find 195/40/17 anywhere?
Well I presume your a bit like me. You bought your car cos its quick and you enjoy a little traffic light grand prix from time to time! Im sure your used to this by now youve had the car for a while. Well when I got 205/40R17 this ruined all my fun cos I kept getting beat CTRs and Clio Cups mainly. Now ive got 195s things are back to normal and the car sits at its normal height.
The 195s arent anymore expensive really except for the likes of Toyos and Yokos. Example Goodyear Eagle F1 from mytyres in 205 is ~£110 and the 195s are ~£90
I dont rate the Toyos after using them for a short period they wear really fast and they are a lot noisier than any other tyre ive used!
