What Tyre Rating 2004 Avensis

[smoky2004]

Hello, I need new tyres for my Toyota Avensis 2004 1.8 petrol, the tyre size is 215/45/r17. Is there a correct tyre rating for my car or doesn't it make a difference?

Also does anyone know a cheap online tyre website?

Thanks

I would imagine that the speed rating would be either V or W.

Blackcircles.com have this size of tyre (215/45/R17V) from £46.99 fully fitted

Thanks for the reply. Do you know if that's a half decent tyre? I don't mind paying a bit extra if the tyre lasts me longer and gives me a bit more grip in the wet. I'm happy to pay for a premium brand, when I said cheap online site I just meant a online website where the tyre prices were generally cheaper than other websites.

Would the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 215/45/R17 Y91 be okay for my car? £99.49 for a fully fitted tyre looks like a very competitive price compared to the prices of a couple of other websites for the same tyre.

Tyres like Kumho's range from £82. The Goodyears should be OK for yours as well.

Is Kumho a midrange tyre? I'm assuming kumho is a tyre brand you would recommend?

[FROSTYBALLS]

Kumho's are one of a number of mid-range tyres - and they tend to be at the cheaper end of mid range. Your best bet would be to have a look yourself and see which fit your bnudget, etc:

I am running 225 45 17 on my Avensis much more range and cheaper- the first number is the width in millimetres, so the 225 are 10mm wider than 215, 215 45 17 is not a common size tyre.

Isn't it dangerous fitting a bigger width tyre or totally safe?

10mm = 1cm. I bought the Avensis with the previous owner running them too. I'm still alive

Thanks Frosty, that website only shows the prices fully fitted, it works out cheaper for me to get the tyres delivered to my house from BlackCircles and get a local garage to fit them. It works out at about £15 per tyre from Black Circles to have the tyres fitted.

I'm not sure whether to get kumho tyres or pay the extra £10 or £15 per tyre for a premium brand.

Hi Mate,

I'm very very happy with the Kumho KU39 Ecsta Le Sport (Y- rated186mph ) on mine, 215/50/17 which is the recommended standard size (but not rating) for my car but I believe earlier cars did have the /45's on.

Regards

Pete.
