new rear tyres on a gts

[marcevo1]

simple one.....on standard wheels - 235x40x18 or 245x40x18?

Mine runs the latter, installed by the previous owner, with no problems so far. Less prone to kerbing and all that, and still narrow enough for a bit of fun. Unlike the 275's on my previous S-Type R, which were more "gripgripgripgripgripgripSLIIIIIDE", if you get my, er, drift....

any idea of makes? - car is a everyday car doing 60 miles a day - but needs half decent rubber as is supercharged

currently has Yoko DB reduction

Bridgestone SO2 & SO3's used & OK, Pirelli Nero Zero or Dunlop SportMAXX used on other cars & will be tried next, currently on Falkens which are very good, lots recc Goodyear F1's, very impressed with a set of 2 Nankang NS2 that I have up front & £100 each!

Got my NS2 Nankang's for about £85 each from mytyres. 245x35x18's
Much better than the other tyres that were on there.

What did you decide upon (if you have)?

[smiler.]

Been offered the new Dunlop tyres @£112 each (incl fitting, balancing VAT). Replacement to the SportMAX apparantly!

[marcevo1]

eventually went goodyear gsd F1 in 245

£141 each fully fitted balanced etc

first impresions - quite and nice tread - the old ones were lacking in tread ;-)

grip - not worn enough yet
