I'd be happy just finding some regular use tyres in the right size for my car.

When I had 16x8s. I ran 205/45 Michelin PE2s with a stretch But then I only had 90bhp! You probably need a little more contact patch! I'm sure these would fit: http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m62b0s345p1714

They'd fit, but I'd like the factory spec 245/55/16 instead of having to settle for a 245/45/16.

I'd have to agree with you there.

Factory smchactory. The Octy OE fitment is 205/50/17, but nobody who's anybody runs that. 225/45 is far more available, cheaper and affords a little bit more lateral grip depending on the tyre. But hey if you wanna waste money: http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m62b0s294p0

Cheers for that! I haven't been able to find them anywhere. Mind you, a new battery tray and passenger side front wing are more pressing, as is the gaping hole I found in one of the sills. And if I'm having them sorted, then I may as well stick on some sub-frame connectors to stiffen the whole thing up, and then there's paint on top of that... so new tyres are pretty low priority at the moment.

Yet she is the same age as Gillian "Dr Poo" McKeith pretty much, enjoying food or eating rabbit food.... I know what I'd take!

Camskill ftw Just as well, coz Proxes are really grippy, quiet and comfy. But they're a bit cack in the cold!! Just make sure you get your list done in time for spring

It sounds like a few people think that when they see Nigella.
