    the suspension is pretty much rock hard at the moment would the 45's be even harder especially over bumps....? or are they better handling/grip or is there much difference...?????

    I had 195/50/15 tyres fitted to my OZ Rallye wheels which were 6J. I replaced them with 195/45/15 Toyo Proxes T1R as the 195/50's kept rubbing the front arches all the time. Now i've fitted the 195/45's I don't get any rubbing atoll.

    I got my Toyo Proxes T1R's from tyredrive.co.uk for £187 delivered for 4 (£44 each).

    The yokos are awful.

    Kumho ku31 or the new equivalents. Or Pirelli pzero neros ftw.
    888's are just a total waste on the road
