Guys, I'm driving the 4-speed version, with 215/45/R17 tyres ... Kumho
Have a chance to get the new Goodyear Eagle Efficient Grip tyres ... but they have only 205/45/17 and 225/45/17 sizes ... is it ok for me to opt for the 225? How will it effect my car all around?
Your advice appreciated ... tks

The reason I asked about Goodyear is because I'm getting a special deal on it ... my current tyres are 2 yrs old, no need to change yet, but the Goodyear deal is too good to pass up.

On the original alloys, 215 is best fit, but one size up or down (205 or 225) is still ok. 225 is wider which means you have more rubber on the road resulting in a slightly heavier steering.
