Here's the new front tyre on the wheel. You should be able to see the naff scuff marks on the rim from a curbing incident ![frown](/inc/images/frown.gif)
As much as me being a crap driver the 215/40/17 tyre didn't even make it to the edge of the wheel and it looks plain to me these 21705/45/17 will protect the rim. If the wheel is in the same position then these are widening my outer track by quite some amount regardless of numbers because it's plain to see.![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
Look how much this tyre sticks out over the rim,, now more like how the rears have always been![thumbup](/inc/images/thumbup.gif)
