just bought them last week first pics now taken. why do the suppliers put the tyres on and then not tell you they are directional?? took me ages to fit cos i got them all the wrong way round. i only noticed when i was fitting the last one it had an arrow on it!!!
not to worry all fitted now.
hey does any one have trouble with the flat tyre indicator on the dash??
mine keeps going off now. my dealer reckons it will clear itself and kindly showed me the reset button under the handbrake! (oh, and we dont know what that does??!!??)
They look really nice, makes the car much more individual. Personally I prefer cleaning the 16" 5 spokes though !
Does anyone else think the car could do with lowering an inch ? (e.g. are the 17" tyres a lower profile than standard, or have you kept the same rolling circumference ?)
the wheels b4 (look in me gallery) were the 15" standards but i got round it by as you say making the profile smaller so really the the hight of the tyre is the same. i dont know about lowering it as we have a lot of sleeping police men around here but the thought did cross my mind!! n e 1 else think i should get it lowered and if so by how much??
