Tyres. I have 7Jx16 rims, I need to replace the tyres. I currently have 225 50 r16's on them. These look fucking expensive to replace. It's a BMW e46 320D touring for reference. Often filled with tools and other shit.
My reading suggests that 205 55 r16 would fit the rim, and they're A LOT cheaper.
Any reason I shouldn't get the narrower tyres? My winter tyres are 205/55/r16 (on different rims tho).
Also, speed ratings - is there any reason I shouldn't save £40 over the set by getting V speed ratings over W ( 149 vs 168 mph) - the car will never be doing more than a ton, ever.
