..is there much difference in 215/45/16 and 205/45/16????just checking as the bridge stones on it at moment are 215:nice:

Easy...10mm is the difference. lol

One is 215mm wide and the other is 205mm wide.

Wider will be more grip as more of teh tires surface area is in contact with the road surface BUT...wider tires are also worse in wet conditions as they sit on the water and don't cut through it, otherwise known as aquaplaining.

But I highly doubt that the 10mm difference in the two tires will make any sort of noticable effect in wet or dry conditions.

I would go with the size you have now to make sure your completely satisfied with teh end result.

Update us with what tires you choose and the outcome of your satisfaction!!!

hankook rs2's are a real good good tyre had a few sets on my jordan and by far the best ive tried.parada's are good but not as good in wet as the hankooks.for the money youll not get much better than them

parada's are gd in the wet. if you look the yokohama website it shows how the tread lets water escape so tyre always has contact with road. Plus my mate has a set on his integra. He got them in the summer and we took the wheels off to freshing up the paint and the tyres are perfect and he not the easiest on them. Deffs get parada spec 2's
 
Get the paradas wont regret it and there not all that expensive 55pound a corner or somthing like that
 
Sorry I might be bursting some bubbles here, but forget the Pardas if you intend to use your car in the wet! I have them on mine, very nice in the dry (better than Toyo T1-R) but, in the wet they are practically useless. You have to literally drive slowly to be safe.
