I am aware of the implications of tyre sizes.
They were the tyre sizes fitted as standard. When I say standard, I mean when I bought it...the car was slammed at the back so while I could get a /45 profile (what I wanted) at the front, they would probably rub in the arches at the back.
My car is for relaxing, driving to work, cruising with friends. If I want 0-60, my bike will do that in 3 seconds (and 100 in 7, but I never speed! :hide
When I can actually afford to have a bit of spare cash, my next car will be perhaps another 1.4 Corsa, or hopefully a 1.8 SRI Corsa C, tastefully modified...I have the vision of exactly how I want it in my head. Not chavvy, but very tasteful, slightly raspy exhaust, if it's a 1.8 then a full exhaust system, chipped with air intake, perhaps fast road cams to give a lovely 160bhp at the wheels. Drop the whole car 30mm on performance coilovers for aesthetics, fit Vredestein Sessantas or Toyo Proxy T1R onto some 16 wheels and bob is my uncle (he isn't).
