new tyres on sportivo ZR6

[joypa]

I recently had to puchase two new front tyres as left hand tyre was scrubbed out on the inside.When I picked it up it was pulling to the left really bad,so I took it back and they then put the new tyres on the back.....which I wasn't happy about as it didn't rectify the problem...so I took it back again.Had 235 x 18inch all round,now they have put 235 x 18in on the back and 225 x 18in on the front,should I be concerned about the difference in the tyre width.The tyre company told me the tyres(235)are too wide for my car !!!!

It’s pretty strange to have a smaller size tyre on the front of an Aurion it's not uncommon for this to be the case on a powerful RWD but not the norm on the Aurion in fact I’m surprised it hasn’t thrown an error code on the dash. Toyota Recommends 225/40 ZR18's for the Kappa accessory wheel so if you’re going for 18inch wheels that's probably a good size to go with but as for it being to wide that’s not really true as the TRD as do many of us here with 19in or bigger wheels wear 245 wide rubber.

Do you mean 225/45/18?

225/40/18 is a big change in rolling diameter

I have 235's on my AT-X and have no problems at all, sounds like they screwed it up and didnt have anymore 235's in stock so put 225's on instead. It will make it hard to do rotations I personally would take it back and get 235's all round again.
