yep the're the mag wheels so i think 215/45 is going to be ok. dont want to go any wider/taller as its on cup suspension and the clearance on 205's is, already, a bit tight. there's always more neg camber... have found toyo888 215/45 255/40 for £525 cheap as chips

can confirm after silverstone yesterday that toyo 888's are the nuts. Awesome grip and nice breakaway. Really good, even wear. Did total of 2 hours on them and they look about 1/3 or 1/4 done. given the heat i expect 3 or 4 more days from them. brilliant. see absolutely no reason to change next time. certainly wont use the same tyre monkey that gouged out a fecking great lump and bent my mag wheels though. grrrrrrrr

Mate was it quite warm in the car yesterday?


not nearly as bad as donnington which was unbearable. andy fearns whipped the heat exchange thingy off the exhaust which at least meant my blood didnt boil and hair catch fire and we had some coolish air coming through the vents.
