Im looking at a set of Tethys for my 855.

The wheels i have at the minute are 7.0j x 17", ET is 38 and they are 5 x 108

The tyres on them are 215x45Rx17 87H

Would the tethys go on my car and could i transfer the tyres off the Wolfrace and put them on the Tethys?

Cheers.

Yes they will fit ok and tyres are ideal size wise but are only H rated - up to 130mph.

A full set of Toyo proxes T1r delivered from Camskill performance online are only £266 for 205 50 16 or 225 45 16 and the 17s are http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m4b615s15p0 These are the new PX4s. The tyres are very sticky and last surprisingly well.

As above really,you need to run the 215/45x17 size as fited to the 850R.Even with these you will get rub unless you fit the bigger lockstops.I have orestes with 215/45x45 and they do rub.(haven't got round to fitting lockstops yet! )
