but surely given Caterham run ZZS's on 13" wheels on standard S3 cars, it can't be impossible to get the clearance you need?
I run 13x6 all round with ZZS/CR500 and I've no major issues with ground clearance. You just need to be careful with speed bumps, but the same goes even with larger wheels.

48 and R888r are ok in the wet but they can be buttock clenching in standing water and lorry tracks on motorways . i've done several trips with R888's and moderated speed to the conditions .
The most important bit is to go with new ones as 3500 miles to and around the alps will need all the tread you can get for when you come back off the ferry
This is the real question... If the semi-slicks will last a 3500 mile trip or not...The most important bit is to go with new ones as 3500 miles to and around the alps will need all the tread you can get for when you come back off the ferry
How many miles are ZZR and ZZS lasting on "expeditions" to Continental Europe? I am quite interested in knowing this. I know there isn't a definite answer but, to me, the tourers TO blat areas, are the only ones who can comment on how long a tyre lasts on the road.
