225 width Tyres Up front?

Has anyone fitted this width to a 1er coupe and if so any problems? The reason I ask is that PS2's don't come in 215's so I was thinking of going up to 225's.

I think 225's would be much better as the car stuggles with front end grip and a bit of understeer.

Should help stop this.

I plan to look into this when my tyres need replacing.

I'd like to think the same Moff, but wondered if it might affect the "turn in"

Turn in will be fine IMO.

I think that they are specifically 215's to cause understeer.

Many have changed to 225's in the US, so you could ask them, but they don't really 'do' corners like we do, do they? ;-)

No problem, I have run two different 225 tires without any issue at all, same with 255 in rear.
