Having trouble finding this tyre size...
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!!

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!
