[QUOTE="titicaca, post: 180270, member: 3782"] Hi guys don't know if this is a stupid question. I have a 133 Gordini with standard 195 40 17 tyres. The fronts now need replacement whereas the back still have plenty of life left. I am hoping to replace using 205 40 17 as they are cheaper and more readily available. However I am just wondering do they need to be replaced both front and rear? What happens if I replace the front with 205 40 17 and keep the back as 195 40 17 until they worn out then change them to 205 as well? Has any one ever tried? Will this pass the MOT? Will it affect the handling? I have had many RWD cars with different width tyres, but not seen FWD cars with these differences. Many thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
