40 profile is too small, needs to be 45 really

Would over read by 3mph at 60mph

If you are talking about the width it should be fine. A small stretch

Width i know is fine. was the profile.

i wwnt out and bought them for cheep off a mate thinking the tyres i have on mine were profile 40 before realising they were 45. 


what do youse think. go through all the hassel off selling them then having to save up money to get other tyres? Or stick them on as its only a few mph out. when i looked on a tyre calc it said 1.9mph out when at 60...

Go for it but they will look a little lost.
