Hi long time no post!

Question ref wifes w203 amg alloys tyre size 245/40/17 i cannot get snow tyres in that size nearest i can get is 235/45/17 which is a difference of 2.41%.

All the sites say if i keep the difference ti undr 3% all should be fine.

Is anyone running the 235 size and if so any problems, not worried about slight speedo difference just can the car tell the difference?



Thanks

I'm running 225/45 17 on the rear (same fitment as front) without problems.

Your manual states (if same as mine) running non-staggered is an option.

I was concerned about fitting 225mm tyres on an 8.5" rim but they're fine.
 
Bobby thanks that's great news 235s it is.
Tyre man can't get 225/45 quick enough but has 235/45 on the shelf.

Wife reports tyres are excellent she can tell the difference over manhole covers greasy roads etc
So fingers crossed for when bad weather returns.
