Aye, the 111S (and some others) had 225's as standard, optional on others.
Thanks for the input guys, I reckon I'll give up with the P-Zeros and get four Advans - I've never liked to compromise on tyres, just seemed a shame to chuck the fronts with so much tread left but as mentioned, they're past their best, grip wise.
