Yeah it's so much nicer to drive and smoother now. Next time I will go wider or switch to 15s I think. Just a shame to lose the cross-spoke Torslanda rims as they're pretty little wheels.

I think the Scorpius wheels look really smart, very much part of the style of the Torslanda, but also the big fat tyres do give a smooth ride. Cleaning the wheels is decidedly tedious though, takes nearly as long as doing the whole car! |

AHKV - what's the permitted back axle load on your 240? For an estate originally equipped with 185/80 R14, I think it's 1140 or 1160 kg.
175/80 R14 usually have a load capacity of 560 kg (Load Index 88). In which case these tyres, are just almost, legal for the car . . .
