    Another tyre question!

    Have found out that here, in France, I can only run the stock tyre size of 205/45/17 on the car or it'll fail the CT.

    Thinking about Vredestein Ultrac Centos or Avon ZZ3s...there isn't much choice unless you're prepared to part with big bucks, which I don't have to spare atm (or enough to buy a 2nd set of wheels and run 215/40s!)

    Thoughts on these or any other tyres you've used?

    Camskill link to 205/45s:

    Can't really go beyond £80-85 a corner unfortunately!

    Tyremen have 205/45/17 Ultrac Sessanta in stock for delivery at £76.50 each with £10 delivery for a set of four - just rang them up on 01482 505526. I have used them and they are pretty good (the tyres and the company).

    I'd recommend Ultracs - got a pair on mine they handle the power well (apart from on the drag strip!)

    A wheelbrace and a torch might save you a few quid
