Hi All, for those running 275/40/21 tyres, as you know they carry a premium.. 275/45/21s are a bit easier to come by and hence better priced.. Just had 4 Conti's fitted, no issues, negligible speedo change.. 70 reads 71 via GPS.. and you get a bit more sidewall..

Speedometer more accurate which is a bonus.

Which tyres?

Did the same a few years ago, you just have to remember that if you use it the spare will only be good for the shortest of journeys to get a tyre repaired.

Continental Sport Contact.. They fill the arch better and Ride seems better too

Strange... In Australia the 40 profile 21 inch tyres are cheaper than the 45 profile

The price here is pretty similar for either but more choice for 275/45/21.
