Hi, I currently have 205/45/17 Pzero tyres all round. Are there any benefits in handling if I run 215/45/17 on the back.

I wouldn’t but I’m no tyre expert.
Just stick to all 4 corners the same dimensions. 215’s are a good choice, I have them all round.

I run 215’s all round. I don’t see any sense running just the rears in the bigger size.

Running 215 on an 8j rim all round and handling is spot on in the few hundred miles I’ve put on so far. The brand and type of tyre is probably far more important :+1:.

215/45 here too love it on my 7.5inch wide wheels
