Tyre Advice - 2 new tyres

[Utown]

Hi guys,

I have 4 205/40zr17 tyres.. and 2 need replacing

Do i have to buy the exact same tyre specs? i.e. 2 more "205/40zr17"

also, is 205/40zr17 the same as "205/40 17 Z"?


thanks

go on mytyres and put the size/speed rating for your car ie max 120mph and they will bring up the correct tyres you want......
yes you have to buy the same size tyres but they dont have to be the same make/model, its only a 1.2!!

Thanks mate,
I bought the car with these tyres already on there... they look good but I don't want to fork out spend stupid money.. especially as it's only a 1.2!
Ah well! Has to be done...

Might look into seeing how much it would cost to get 4 x non low profile tyres... might be cheaper than 2 low profiles.. hmmm

Fitting should only be £10-£15 plus VAT per wheel.

205/40/17 are a pretty popular size so would expect them to be the same price/cheaper than 45 or 50 profile. can get 2 perfectly good tyres fitted for less than £100.........

Thanks richy22 and mat-nos. Much appreciated!

aswell, make sure you put the rears on the front and the new on the rear if that makes sense......

205/40zr17 and 205/40 17 Z mean the same thing just for reference. The Z stands for Z speed rating.
