I need to replace all 4 tyres on the Evo and having a mare finding them at a decent price. No where seems to do em...

Size is 235/45/18. Not fussed on make, they just need to have a reputable name (Michelin/Pirelli/Toyo etc).

Also, how much difference in performance/driving/handling/bumpiness would it make having 235/40/18 tyres instead of 45 profile?? Was even tempted to try 225???

Any help appreciated

I dont think any companys even make that size of tyre...
You would prob be better going for 235/40/18 or 225/40/18 or 225/45/18
www.camskill.co.uk has a fairly good selection of tyres.. nice and cheap too

yeah a fwe of make em Phil but they're just hard to get. Im wondering how much difference a 225/40 tyre will be. I like the look of alloys hanging out of the tyre but worried about handling etc.... dont want em rolling off!!

(Phil - still no money from that prick. Court action has proceeded already! ).

 

i would use a lower profile m8 like a 40it will look and handle better

 

yea lower profile would be ok id say but the road noise i expect would be horiffic! a 40 profile on a 235 width tyre will be like running on rubber bands!

(p.s chris hope you get your money soon mate!)

 

i was thinking going 225 rather than 235 now!! fook the road noise, its supidly loud anyway!!!!

 

Michelin - 01782403323
Continental - 01895425900

Can never find tyres for cars here at me work, so usually just call one of the above and ask who has em in stock

 

i am using 245/35/18 (toyo) (the only one which makes them in that size)..
but they do 235/35/18 aswell ..

i know Pirelli asymetrico has 235/35/18

michelin and continental -->> NOWAY they have those..

goodluck !

 

I found a couple mate some continetals at Ł163.50 and some Michellin at Ł194.50 each hope this helps

 

I think my dad's car has 235/35/18 on the front, Bridgestone SO2's if that helps? I can double check later..

They are over Ł200 each from KwikFit I know that much

 

Bridgestone 235/45ZR18 S02 MZ AMG Ł140.53 plus Ł2P+P per tyre if ordered online

its the only make i could find that done that size

 

deffo try rochford tyres mate got my 225 35 19 for Ł440 next day delivery if i remember toyo 225 40 18 were Ł93 01702545689 ask for the guy who does the tinternet sales

 

yeah been trying to call em today but they're a nightmare for getting through to! Ive got a trade account with em so hopefully they will be cheapest.

Cheers chappies
