Front Tyre Size

[juliantubb]

Hi guys new to the site and to Cerbie ownership. Probably a stupid question this but I have just bought a 2001 450 which has 18" Spiders all around. Is it just me or do the 225/35 tyres on the front look stupidly small for the rims? The rim is wider than the tyre! I believe that the wheels are 8J on the front and 8.5J on the back. Should the tyres not be more like 245 on the front?
Ps Great Site.

There's a FAQ on this very topic (well, nearly)

Ok thanks for that it seems that the ideal tyre size is 235/35 for the front however no one makes that size, apart from Pirelli P Zero Assymetric has anyone tried the P Zero on the Cerbie and would the Assymetric tyre run on the front and back?
