   Get 50's mate much more choice, cheaper, more comfortable ride for starters...

   Yeah they probably will do. Will deffo be more comfortable. Whoever designed a saxo certainly didn't think about their suspension with 45 profile tyres+english roads=broken back

   when i used 45s i used the yokohama AVS sports. these were a wet weather race tyre for a porsche championship. worked very well in the dry, and amazing in the wet!! im not sure if they still make them though???
   
   soem of the good year eagle F1s and toyo range are in the 45 profile
   
   i believe the avon CR500s are available in a 45? but VERY pricey.
   
   as mentioned - there is LOTS of choice in the 50 profile range, A-048Rs, toyo R888s etc.
   
   
   - colin.

   I had T1R's on my last saxo. I have some Avon's on now but can't remember which tbh. Ill check soon, they are a very good tyre tbh but aren't cheap

    Get your arches done then mate. Little investment for a lot of gain. Better than buying an exhaust or something you won't really need..

    You can get Toyo T1R's for about 30 quid a tyre from Camskill in that size mate
    
    I'll swap you a set of VTR's with good tyres for them without tyres?

    if your after looks aswell i think a 50 profile looks too big. the 45profile toyo tr1's are spot on imo
