Another question please..
Discussion
I haven't got these 'massive' wheels & tyres like you lot have, mine are only 205/60/15 on my 323 cab.
I want to put better tyres on it but don't know which to get... there are so many .... and every tyre place tells me differently.
SO.. I thought I'd ask those I trust ... and guess what? That's you.
I don't want the most expensive but I do want decent ones... so what'll it be chaps?

Luvvly Linda said:It depends on whether you like the current handling. Bigger wheels and lower profile tyres generally make the car more knife edge at the limit whereas the 205/60-15s allow a more progressive break from traction.
Actually I'm deciding whether to put bigger wheels on or just new tyres.
That said, large wheels do look good.
Luvvly Linda said:Lol, just for you then.
Can you tell me that again.... in English please.
When you're driving "enthusiastically" (not that we ever would on the public highway, of course, ahem ) and the back end of the car begins to slide, generally bigger wheels and tyres will make the slide seem to begin more abruptly than on higher profile tyres like your current ones. However, with the larger wheels and tyres, there is more grip from the start and they look better of course.
I'll keep my 15 inchers as I loooove the way they slide.

Now I understand. Think I may stick with my 15 inchers and learn to love sliding, like you!
