How about a narrow option, like 205/55/17 ?

Wanna swap ? [emoji16]

Hi Guys,
I'm new to the CT200h and to this Forum.
I'd appreciate if anyone could help me with a query about tyre size on my 2015 CT, please.  It currently has 215/45/17 Yokohamas, which are quite harsh and noisy on rough surfaces.
I have considered changing to 16" wheels to help resolve the issue but my local tyre shop say I could fit 215/55/17's to try and address the problem.  Does anyone know if this can be done without the tyres catching the arches etc?
Your advice will be appreciated and thanks in advance.

The front discs are easy to clean by removing the wheels, and with the engine running in gear use flap wheel type sanding discs in a drill or preferably an angle grinder. This will remove any rust, and light scoring easily. You can use quite course abrasive discs to do this.
The rears are done in the same way but without any drive to them. If you make sure the pads are not binding on the discs so that the discs spin freely the abrasive discs will spin the brake discs for you giving a nice even finish.

Andrew I should have added the reason for the above treatment is that using the brakes in neutral turns off the regen braking, and forces the use of the mechanical brakes, and so helps ware off any surface rust before the discs become pitted. Once the discs do become pitted the rust rely begins to take over reducing the friction area, and causes the pads to ware more rapidly.
John. 

Andrew how many miles gas the car done? I ask because the brakes on the CT have a very easy life, and it's not unusual to expect a minimum of 100,000+ miles out of the first set of brake pads, and the disc ware is minimal.
Possibly the biggest problem with the disc "and possibly your problem" is rusts through lack of use. The remedy for this is "when it is safe to do so" on a down hill run at around 50 mph go into neutral and brake steadily. Do this a couple of time a month to keep the discs shiny, and rust free.
I have used EBC discs and black stuff pads on my Prius "the same as the CT", and had no problems.

I reacted to what I took to be a joke from you Andrew.
Anfield is the football ground of the second best team in the Galaxy.
If you are not into football then please forget/ignore my initial remark!

Hey Andrew.....remember that you are  a new member and you must be very respectful for the first million posts !!

Nice car Andrew, but stay clear of Anfield !

Here's my first Lexus ... [emoji851]

I'm a new happy owner of a Neptune Blue Lexus Ct200H FSport.

Looking to replace all brake train.

Having a look on eBay and theres plenty to choose from.

Are the OEM discs any different in weight/quality compared to EBC & Co ?

Thank you for your input.
