why dont you speak to a local independant (not chain!!!) tyre place and try higher profile tyres.
The current trend for big alloys and rubber band tyres is good for nothing on UK roads. 15" wheels are more than adequate, cheaper to shod and better in the wet. We are being conditioned that big is better. Even 16" is unnecesary. |

I don't believe / understand that.
Maybe the sports chassis is pointless on d2?

Don't get confused by the name. "Dynamic" is the standard chassis. The "sportier" one is the Sport chassis....

Then choose as big a size of tyre for the rim as you can fit under the wheel arch. Look for the maximum diameter you can fit. It's a big sidewall you want. You can go to about 2.5% to give a good selection of tyres. http://www.alloywheels.com/Tyre_Calculator Then choose a set tyres in your chosen size. Don't get XL rated tyres and look for ones with good rolling resistance. ie. the ones with good fuel ratings. This will improve the comfort levels and should come in under a £1000.
