Tyre sizes

[Borg Warner]

Apart from the radiator new tyres will be required at sometime.  Currently it has 245x45 17s, now Black Cirlces web page say they should be 235x50 17s, so to does K/F, has the previous owner fitted the incorrect sizes?

Yes you have the wrong tyres!  But don't worry as they are very close.

Thanks Simon.

Looking in the h/b it shows these are winter tyre sizes?  Wheels are 7.5Jx17.  Will go for 235/50s I think, these are Conti's and seem a little noisy?  Any recommends, liked Falcons on my ZT, but appreciate this is a different ball game.

Can I recommend a new tyre, well,new to me anyway. Just had 4 fitted to my 3.0V6S type and I am very impressed. Very quiet, bags of grip in the dry (can't comment on wet as we have not had any rain since June)

Gets excellent reviews and if the EU label is to be believed scores very highly on wet grip.

The tyre is Davanti DX640 in 235/50/17  98  Y   Very well priced but very good. I am so impressed that I am going to put them on my XF when needed.

After a ton of research I just bought some Nexen Nfera SU1 for the back of mine, well reviewed and tested, plus cheap - medium price. Worth checking out I suggest
