Question Tyres question

Hi all, non Rover 75 question I'm afraid (previous owner)

I currently have 215/50/R17 tyres fitted to my Mondeo Estate and will need to replace them soon.

Looking at various tyre websites, it seems I have multiple options.

I have read that my R17 (7,5"wide) alloys will support tyres of 225/45 ratio, and still be within acceptable limits of the original diameter / circumference.

Is this correct, and does anyone have experience of having made a smiliar tyre change to their car

Many thanks for any assistance

I would fit what is specified in the owners' manual.
