Fiesta Mk7 Tyre Profile?

I have recently ordered some new alloys for my mk7 fiesta, they are 17"x7j.

I am wondering what profile tyres to get?? I am wanting a low profile look but obviously not too low so that every little stone feels like a pothole.

Any suggestions. Thanks

    I've got 205/40/17s on mine and it's awful. Next tyre change I'm going to try 205/45/17 see if it's any better

    ive got the same as above, 205/40/17 and i agree it does feel horrendous, everytime i hit a small pot hole i have to get out and check to see if ive buckled my alloy because it feels that bad!

    Anything other than 205/40/17 will knock your speedo out.

    205/45/17 = 3.37% out (70mph reads 72.36mph)

    205/50/17 = 6.88% (74.8mph reading)

    It is not recommended to go over 2.5% difference.

    Hi guys.

    Recently fiited mine with Goodyear Efficient Grip 215/40r17 as recommended by a tyre dealer.

    Not much change in reading coming from the stock.

    No rubbing or clicking on full lock.

    Hope this helps.
