Hi, can someone tell me the tyre size on the exeo sport 18 inch alloys also, can i fit a 16 inch alloy to this model with winter tyres that i currently have on my altea, do owners find the 18s affect mpg at all any advice most welcome. Am looking to buy a sport saloon soon, boot space ok?? thank you
225/40/R18 speed rating is up to you but Y is what mine came with from the dealers.
Factory fit seems to be Pirelle PZero Rossos which I felt were a tad noisy and gave a bit of tramlining after a few mm wear so I banged on some Continental sportcontact3's and they are a delight.
Can you fit 16's? Probably but your speedo, trip computer etc will be all to **** unless you reprogram it....better off just getting a set of winter rubber and getting your local fitters to swap them in and out at the appropriate times for a few quid.
I personally dont think the 18's have much impact on MPG...at least not as much as my heavy right foot does.
Boot space is fine. I can fit 4 large suitcases and sundry crap in mine...enough for 3 people (two of which are female) and 2 dogs to go on holiday for 10 days, or alternatively about 1.5 cubic meters of chopped wood for my wood burner. (I highly recommend getting the A4 B7 Boot liner for about £35...it fits perfectly, makes cleaning the boot a doddle and saves your boot carpet no end)
