I've been lurking around the multiple tyre threads for some time. The time is nearly here for me to renew the current tyres with something more comfortable, but not spoiling the handling. I'm potentially looking to replace-
OEM 195/40/R17 Side wall height 78mm
With
PS4 195/45/R17 Side wall height 88mm
As yet I've not seen this done (hence the new thread). To put this into perspective the side wall height on a golf with 18" wheels 90mm, so this isn't so crazy and shouldn't throw the speedo out too much (+2mph @ 70mph). I had considered slightly wider tyres (205/40/R17) on the fronts, but I'm leaning towards keeping them all the same. The PS4 is widely viewed as a comfortable tyre. People have gone with higher profile tires and not had any rubbing, so this shouldn't be a showstopper.
Anyone done this before with this size or tried staggered tyres sizes?
