Tyre profiles

[tommyc]

Hi All, need aquestion answering

I have michelin pilot primacy hp 225/50/r17 tyres on my car that need changing. I want to put on some goodyear eagle f1 assym 2 onto the car but they only sell 225/45/r17 in this particular tyre. Could I put a tyre on with a different profile i.e. the number 50 to 45.

Regards

will fit ok and will make the ride slightly harder and when the speedo reads 70mph you will really be doing 68mph

you could go to 245/45/17 and it would be .5mile out but then it could make the car start to tramline with wider tyres.
