Definately agree with changing from 15" wheels. Even 16" gives much more choice, however 5 alloys and 5 tyres in one go is costly.

If all the tyres are well worn and the alloys are in need of refurbishment it is certainly the way to go.

I don't really want to upsize on the wheels as I like the Speedlines (plus I actually have a complete spare set in very good condition that I bought for the Cabbie and haven't got around to fitting yet) so I'm going to continue the hunt for reasonably priced 225 profile ones.
I like the look of the Avons but the Falkens generally come in a bit cheaper.

Falken 912's on 15" (225/60/R15). Usually price matched by Camskill and others.

I have run these on my '89 XJ-S V12 for the last 5 years in wet and dry - no issues at all. Your speedo will be about 2% out.

Rich.

Ok, thanks all.
I'll be back home next week and I'll have a closer look at what's available.
