Reply With Quotethe 40 and 45 isn't in mm. It's a % of the tyres width. Not sure on legality of having different tyre sizes though.
yo, just had tyres changed, i b
ought some new dunlop 40mm profile to go on the rear but the garage doing it said that you have to have a higher profile on the rear than the front if they are not equal. (rear are 45mm profile) he said they would fail MOT and not sure where the ol bill stand on the situation.
ermmm....is this right? as i wanted the lower profile ones on the rear to cut down on rubbing.:-x and i take 40mm profile are perfectly safe...looked pretty stretched on the rim

i cant seem to understand what the problem is...
Do what i do, and tell em to "shut up, bitch, i'm paying you money, do what the fukk i tell you to. Fukk the law, yuzhurd"
I'm sure me unc's 911 has got 35 profile on the back and 40 on the front... i'll check in a bit. But then again his wheels are wider at the back.
I've got standard 14s on the front with 55 profile and 15s on the back with a 40 profile. I aint ever had any bother, but me MOT isnt due yet...
hmmm my friendly mate who is a polizzzzman just said there aint a prob with having lower profile on the rear than the front...hmmmm and says it will pass MOT to.
some garages....grrrr! now i gotta change the fukin wheels round myself!!
as long as the tyre's are the same on each axle you wont run into any legal problems...
Dude keep the low pro wheels at the front for better accelleration!! get ya rear arches rolled instead

It'll be perfectly safe as long as you have the correct tyre pressures, and dont drive over nails and suchoh yeh kas your right....

seriously dont bother with 205s on the front, you'll probly end up aquaplaning off the road!
when i can afford to get new tyres for me 15s i will be gettin a 35 profile for the front and keeping the 40s on the back.
hmmm k...if your sure i will get another set of 40's
but my 16's are half inch wider than standard 16's i think 16X7 195 stretched that thin ok on them?
