Avensis Estate Tyre Sizes

[Andrew Taylor]

Hi,

I need to put 4 new tyres on to a 2006 T-spirit I bought 2nd hand in the summer. It's got a mix of branded economy tyres at the moment, I'm looking to put four premium on. It's currently 215/45/R17, but, I don't have the manual and I can't confirm that's the tyre that was fitted originally by Mr T. I've seen mention of 215/50, I believe the two are interchangable but I'm ignorant as to why?

I'm looking for grip and comfort, and want to make sure I get the most suitable size.

Thanks for any advice.

My 2007 Hatchback came with Good Year NCT 215/50 R17 fitted.

Hi Andrew, I agree with Fitter as my T-spirit came with the same as his one, 215/50/ R17, I think some earlier cars did have 215/45/ R17's but the ride must be even worse than with the 50's.

Yer 215/50 17 on mine. Conti 5 are very good

I got a good deal on 4 215/45/17 Falken FK452 (which I've used before) so I've fitted them. I'm really happy with the grip so I'll have to live with the less than ideal ride quality.

Thanks for everyone's input.
