Hi,
I bought my 08 plate 2.0TDI Sportback in Feb and the time has come to replace the front tyres (the near-side needs doing especially as its more worn than I thought).
The car currently has 235/45/17 all round (Bravuris tyres - not a brand I've heard of) and my plan was just to replace the fronts with some Uniroyal Rainsport 3s. However while doing some research it appears that this is not the stock size for the OE alloys I have and they should instead be 225/45/17.
Right now the car feels fine so I don't think there is anything majorly wrong with the 235s. However, I'm undecided whether to:
a) Buy the Uniroyals in 235 and put them on the front
b) Try and just like-for-like swap the fronts for the same Bravuris tyre
c) Buy the Uniroyals in 225 for all 4 corners (I'd really rather not as the current rears have a lot left on them)
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Andy
