Just a wee bit information

I took a wee bit of a chance and put slightly bigger 'aspect-ratio' tyres on. I put 225/55 by 16 on the car, Nexen tyres. Good tyre, good enough grip in dry and wet, I use them on the Jaguar as well, 225/60 on the Jag'. No rubbing on the inner or outer arches, but quite close. These tyres seem to give a better ride than the previous Avons and Hankooks, and Continentals, don't seem to affect the handling and have brought the speedo closer to correct reading, (but still out by 4mph at 60mph) I'll be trying 225/60 next when I can be bothered changing one of the Jaguar tyres over.
