anyone else noticed a loss of torque after fitting 205/40r17 tyres to a CL or LX Fiesta?
mine feels similar around town but on the highway and up long hills i have to chop back more eg: a hill i travel on everyday i could do 4th gear 105km/h and i could get to 110km/h now i was losing speed and by the top i was lucky to be doing 100km/h flatout. the tyres are only 2% taller so I would have though it would make no difference I was going to do a hill climb in it with the new wheels and tyres but i might put the stock conti's back on for it if i do track it ever i might just get 2 15in mags with 205/50r15 or 195/50r15 semi slicks for the front and leave the 17's on the back
