Have just been thinking about new tyres for my TS V6 Advance. If I put 215/60's on the 15 inch rims (original 205/65).The benefits as I see them are- the car will sit 5 mm lower (without altering the suspension geometry), the tyres will be 10 mm wider (better grip) and being only 5 mm wider on each side, there should be no clearance problems. No probs with insurance. Anyone done this? any ideas? I have good mags, so am quite happy with these.
