I am going over to 17's soon aswell and notice most run 40 profile but wondered if 45 would fit because it would be a more comfortable ride

My 207 runs 205 / 45 / 17
205 / 40 / 17 is closer to the 195/55/15 but I guess it's up to you

Michelin pilot sport tyres are the best !

Cheers what's the damage on those a corner ? Roughly

The standard 195/55/15 has a rolling radius of 615 and a 205/40/17 has a rolling radial of 605 so very close I don't understand why so many people are therefore against 17's because the rolling radius is actually slightly smaller not bigger

Cost isn't a lot dearer than 55 profile 15's tbh. A lot dearer than 50 profile.

But yes road tyres in that size I'd recommend michelin PS3'S and not a lot else tbh. Unless you can't stretch that far Kumho do some decent ones which are also A rated wet grip and a lot cheaper but don't last as long as the michelins will.

I'm sure I've seen 45's on 17's fit fine you'd have to see how much clearance you had between the tire and base of the strut you had
Because that's where it would rub,..
Mine used to just catch the arch liner on the rears but got 11mm spacers which if I remember cured that (my lions are et28)

Let me know how you find them as I'm Debating some in 225/45/17 or 225/40/18 on my leon. In need of 4 tyres soon and their a good price in both. Got PS3'S and Hankook S1 evo's on it atm but the kumhos are cheaper and it's only a daily.
