Hi All,

I’m currently looking to replace my tyres on my Speedline wheels.
I have 9” front wheels and a 10” wide rear wheels fitted.

My current tyres are 225/40/18 front and 275/35/18 rear, Yokohama Advans.

I want to switch to Michelin Pilot Super Sports, they are currently fitted to my 911 and they seem to be just what the doctor ordered, however they are not available in those sizes.

Can anyone recommend some alternative sizes for those wheel widths?

Thanks

Matt

On my comps I run Mitch cups in the stock noble size 225/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear.
I have run wider rubber, but you don't have more traction and it just adds weight so I stick to stock sizes now.

Thanks Andy, that's good information.

I've just checked the web again and it seems i must have been drunk or something the other day, as the 275/35/18's are now listed in PSS, but the 265/35/18 still isn't.

I'll just get the same that i have now, for simplicities sake.

Thanks for your help

Matt
