Not sure that Winter Tyres were as popular over 10 years ago!

Having said that, you can get Winter Tyres in 225/45X18 anyway!

Probably still a legal requirement in Germany for example
I know that there are MG approved winter tyre sizes for the F and TF in Europe

Maybe narrower 17s are better than the 225 18's hence my question in this part of the forum

True, but if you have a 190 or 260, you still need 18" wheels to clear the front brakes!

But as only 120's left the factory with anything other than 18" wheels, it's unlikely that MGR would recommend anything other than the standard size!
