Just got the car back from HHC (valve setup - another great service - cheers guys), and I needed a couple of front tyres. The old ones were the standard (235/25?) factory fit ones. I now have the recommended 35's on the front. Its a massive improvement in handling but they don't look as good. ;-(

Anyhow, as the circumference has changed, will this now have put the clocks out for MPH?

Cheers

Crikey, I didn't realise 25 profile tyres even existed that's extreamly low profile!

Factory fit fronts were originally 225/35 then they moved to 235/40. Not sure what they are fitting now.
