      That’s what I’ll probably replace these with, if the car lasts long enough to wear them out.

    They're nice alloys, the temptation for alloys has always been there for me, especially 15" from the existing 14".
    Next tyre change I was gonna get some 14" 175s (currently 155s) , wider tyre for that meaty look.
    It took years off your Citroen so now I'm seriously thinking about it.
    Thanks again, your vids are always helpful and inspiring. 😎

    With the Toyo tyres grip you'll no longer be wheel spinning the car in 3rd and 4th so you've added a lot of power, you need to change your speedo so it shows 180 mph max.

    I also have a small car. Bigger and wider wheels always felt slower and rigid. Tried 165.60.14, 165.65.14, 165.70.14, 185.55.14, 175.65.14. I am sure that for performance R13 and max 175 wide with lower suspension is the best.

      You’d expect so, but it seems the same or slightly better. It might not actually be slower, it may be that the gearing is effectively every so slightly longer and that makes it feel ever so slightly slower 🤔
