Wider wheels at the back... Any advantage

Just changed the tyre pressure as suggested .... 34/39 .... WHAT A DIFFERENCE !!!!!!!
Economy seems to be alot better and also the car is moving faster. Was quite sluggish before.
Thanks.

How much extra fuel consumption would a set of 19's make oppsed to the normal 16's ???
I know its a bit of a hard question.

You should not see any difference going from 245's to 275's.

A little bit of loss is ok. Previously I had NO economy !!!!!!! Gonna prob do about 500 miles this week, lets see what I can get out of the tank. Got the car booked in for a software upgrade and a starting problem to be looked at.
As soon as these bits are resolved ...... Its time to look at Modding ..... but, I need to also keep an eye on some economy.
One chapter closes, another one opens ........... CHECK THIS SPACE ......... LOL.
