Boxtaboy,

Thanks for the advice - I didn't realise a 225/45 would be okay on a 7" wide rim? If so, that's certainly quite handy as the 225/45 size is cheaper than either of the other sizes I was looking at for that size rim...

I guess if Porsche approved a Pirelli tyre in that size for that width wheel it must be okay.

Thanks again,

James
