225

Hi folks I am looking to replace the old and frankly rubbish cheap tyres on my 156 V6 with some nice F1 Eagles but wanted to increase the section slightly to 225. Now this means that the aspect ratio of the new tyres will have to be slightly different to the old 215’s but can anyone tell me...
