Hi guys,
I currently own a 54 plate cooper s with 17in alloys fitted with Dunlop sp sport 01 205/45 r17 run flats. As two of them are now in need of replacement I want to change to non run flats.
I have done loads of searches but cannon find the information I am after.
I am considering avon zz3 in a 215/40 83y. The reason for this is they seem to be one of the only tyres of that size and 205/45s that are not extra load rated. This is important as the reason I want to change is for all round ride comfort so being an XL tyre I gather they must be re-enforced which would make them harder and ruin the point of changing them.
Please could someone help me as to weather my fears are justified regarding XL tyre, weather it's ok to fit 215 to a 7j (I think) wheel and if you have tried the zz3s? I know there is a thread regarding this but there are no answers in regards to my exact tyre size.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
