805R requires new hooves. Got good contacts from my friendly neighbourhood super heroes but I'm thinking about a bit of rim protection.

Is it possible to run 215's on an 805R? Volvo recommend 205 only.

My current choice on 205's is:
Falkens at 68 all-in
Yoko Onos at 75
Dunlops at about 85
BF goodridges at 76

I have always run 215's on my 17" titans with no problems, current faves are Kumho 215/40/17, the rim protector isnt bad but they tyres are awesome, grippy, even in the wet and they are oem on Porsche, TVR next year to name a few, a reall good all rounder and cheap too. I paid £65 a corner :)

I am running 215/45/R17 - Vredestein Ultracs - which are excellent
