And right back off as tyre catching on the bottom of strut 
So coming off the 225/40/18 and going on 225/35/18
hopefully be on end of week now, tyres need ordering.

was going to say, wont the tyre still catch on big bumps, hence as Fear says, reducing the width could possibly avoid catching altogether ?

I wouldn't go to 215/35, I had these on the Astra and they're no tyre at all, ruined the car.
