Just as a quick note have we all seen that Tesco now do tyres from Black Circles - good prices and they fit too.

Unfortunately they dont have rear Hankooks or front toyos at the mo grrrr

[quote=""RichB""]Is the calibration against 19's / 20's any diffent, given the 19s run higher profiles tyres? From my experience using my GPS reader on the satnav as true speed compared to the speedo, the difference in this case is negligable. My speedo reads over by just under 4%.[/quote]

What are the Tyre Widths and Profiles on the 19's?

so far so good with them though, more than happy.
