If I put 245 or 255 tyres on my XPOWER, is there any loss in performance?

ATM, I can get a good deal from someone who I have who has 245/45/18/Y and 255/45/18/Y tyres,

Either the Hankook Ventus Evo 1 S3 or Bridgestone Turanza T005.

Just wanted to ask as I know the XP comes with 235 so these are 1-2 sizes larger.

I reckon you wouldn't notice much difference in the 0 to 60 but would expect a slight reduction in range due to having more rubber in contact with the ground equalling a higher rolling resistance.

Might just be talking bollox mind.

Let us know how you get on and update the Tyre thread. 👍
 
You will lose mileage. And as the mechanic said (and the dealer confirmed it): MG4 is very sensitive to bigger tyres. More noise, more frequent balance issues.
