    Cheers Graeme, and they're filthy after driving over those roads. It's given the car an evil look imo, and I now have my buffer back on the speedo with the tyres being 215/40/17 rather than the 215/45/17's that were on the Titans.

    Yes sure. When I bought the car with the standard Comets fitted, I had a buffer of 3-4mph between what the speedo read, and what the sat nav/road signs speed things read. Then when I swapped to Titans with the different tyre aspect ratio, the buffer was gone, and the car was doing exactly what the speedo said.
