Hi guys, this is my first post and need some info. On the front I have 225/45/17 and on the back I have 215/45/17 tyres. Is this normal?
I have looked at the tyre guide on the forum and it says I should have 215/45/17, is this correct?
Would like to know as will be looking at new tyres in the next few months.
Cheers
Pete

You should have 215/45/17's all round if you have OEM 17" alloys, but I think you can fit 225/45/17's to the OEM 17" rims?

welcome to the LOC
My set-up is 225 on the back and 215 at the front, as she is RWD remember.
change is back to 215 when needed to replace, change them together.

You should swap them around until you need new tyres at least. 225 on the rear will be fine but I suspect it would be upsetting the handling having them on the front?
