Good Evening people.

After a bit of advice for a friend who has the above. It has the 255/65/15 Avons on it.

The silly prices of these dictate that a wheel swap is in order.

Any suggestions as to the best route ?

Many Thanks in advance.

The Arnage with the Crewe V8 rather than the BMW V8 was designated Red Label from 1999 to 2002, the only other Red Labels are from the Vintage era, 1919 to 1931, certainly not from 1988. Has your freind possibly got a 1988 Turbo R and wants to ditch the Avons? If so, there are a few threads to be found in this forum on alternative wheel/tyre options.

You can probably keep the wheels and play with the tire sizes to get the same rolling radius.
Unless he's planning to do 150mph in a 6 ton board room, he doesn't need v rated tires but pay attention to the load rating.
