I'm just about to change the rear tyres on my zed. It's the first time in my ownership. I'm wondering if they are the correct size. Reason being is that when i look on tyreleader i only get 3 options :-o I'm used to having loads to pick through. My Wheels are 9j x 17" and currently have 165 40 17 tyres. Does that sound right?

Many thanks Lee

Sure you don't mean 265 wide.

Doh, yeah 265 40 17. Thats what happens when I post late at night lol

So anyone got any thoughts??

So anyone got any thoughts??

 

Why would you think they were wrong, Lee? They fit the rim nicely :)

Oh i know they do fit nicely. I'm just not used to having so few options when getting new ones. It could well be that thats the norm for these ane i just have to get used to it.

I run 265 30 19 on my 9" front wheel - probably a bit of bulge, but it's ok. 255 should be good, but that depends on who the tyre manufacturer is - tyre manufacturers NEVER standardise on profile, it's frustrating.

Thanks,

Sounds like the norm to be so limited on choice.

So what's peoples thoughs between.

Falken*Azenis FK453

Toyo*Proxes T1 Sport*

Hankook*Ventus S1 EVO K107

I have on the rears Vredestein Ulrac Sessantas Giugiaro 255/40/17, they are a very attractive tyre and ones you should consider.

 

They aren't bulgy at all and in fact look like they have a little stretch when really they haven't, this'll help tucking under the arch.

Thanks definitely a lot more choice by dropping to that size. Haven't heard of that make before but they get mentions on the forums at the moment. I think I'll give them a go :-)
