Last night's laugh was the guy who put brand new 225s on the front, and left the originals on the rear.

I'm almost waiting for the post to say they lost it on a bend...

What if they did it the other way?

Both my front 205/40/18 (PS4) tyres will shortly need replacing while the rear have another couple of years on them. I'm investigating putting new 225/40/18 (PS4) on the rear and moving the 205/40/18 (PS4) on the front. What issues will this cause or can I expect to encounter with this setup? 🤔 * This is due to cost per tyre rather than looks.

Personally, I'd be coughing up the extra few £s for the right size.

But putting the wider and newer tyres on the back is the best option if you're going to replace two, then the other two later.

The reason for the post above about losing it on a bend is if the front has more grip than the rear, it can induce the rear end to slide out as it can't keep up with the grip levels of the front end.

Sorry, don't pop in here too often.

With FWD, the new tyres (if replacing only 2) should go on the back.

Any one with lowered suspension fitted 225/40/18's?

Same here, would I be OK with 225s on an ST edition? Conscious with the slightly lower setup the arches may be too "full" 😂
