Also, tyres are not the place to save coin.
100%, 3 of the 4 summer tyres are basically new, they are however the cheapest of the cheap that were obviously thrown on to sell the car, so I’m putting a new set of Goodyear Efficientgrip performance 2s on. They’re about £60 a corner, fitted, but £110 for 225/55 r16 W(!). So seemed more than worth exploring other tyre sizes that would fit the rim.
As long as your not putting run flat tyres on or anything you'll find the car will be nicer to drive on the 205/55 R16. Also, tyres are not the place to save coin. Some michelin or continental in that size will be good.
