The same generally applies to having 3 people in the car (especially if the other two are 'larger' than me )
    My next set (of whatever they might be) will be back to 205s without a doubt. The 215s are just one profile 'too big' to fit under the arches under more extreme road conditions sometimes...

    Handling-wise, I have absolutely no complaints, as displayed on the last borders run.. keeping up with the big boys except on the straight bits
    I fitted a set of uniroyal rainsport to my last mini 215/45r17 and as above they rubbed with people in the back or spirited driving, this time I opted for another set of uniroyals but went for 215/40r17 and so far I've had no issue with the rears rubbing

    This is my third set of uniroyals and I can't fault them
