    The 205/50 x 17 are the size.

    The other letters refer to the load weighting and the speed weighting. Both are important, but your existing tyres may be over-specified for your car. Rather than take these from the existing tyres, you'd do better to see what it says in your manual. Apart from anything else, insurance companies get upset if you fit tyres which don't match (or better) what's in the manual.

    i dont know about that 307 is pretty heavy for a small hatch, and 110 BHP. insurers dont frown upon tyre more if you modify the wheels to say a wolfrace aftermarket, it doesnt really matter what rubber is on it TBH just the make of wheel.
