Title: Help finding a better fit tyre please?
Post by: big al on July 27, 2011, 02:40:09 pm

Hi all.
Currently running some RML snowflake alloys 18/8.5 wide) with Vredestein tyres, 225/40/18's. Which are great.
But want some slightly smaller tyres to help it get lower when at shows.
Been looking on ebay, but not too sure what I can get away with, and what is a good make, don't really want to compromise the ride quality too much either  :laugh:

Probably go down a size to 215 35 18 compromise ride quality though.

Cheers mate,
How would 225/35/18's do? would they make much difference?

Have a look on www.tyrestretch.com

There is a very comprehensive catalogue of pictures of different spec wheels and tyres!  :happy2:
