Hi

 

To go with my wheel hell im now on a tyre problem from hell.

 

I was going for Yokohoma advan sports but now the company cant source the tyre sizes im after 235/35/18 275/35/18

 

Can anyone advise for a tyre that they now are good and can be supplied in the above sizes?

 

Cheers Dan

i got put on toyo tr1's on mine, great tyre, gets loads of great reviews

good, now you can get the rights size fronts 235/40 R18.

 

Generally good tires are:

Toyo T1R

Falken 452

Goodyear Eagle

 

Depends what you want really, I run Toyo R888's myself which are fantastic but compromised in the wet or cold weather!

ive got Toyos as well great tyres

good, now you can get the rights size fronts 235/40 R18.

 

 

As James has pointed out you need to drop a profile from the front to the rear to keep the same rolling diameter of the tyre!

Trust me you dont know what hassel ive had with this company! Ordering the wheels was one hell of a job but 6months later and they arrive.

 

I ordered t1r tyres 6 months ago to go with the package but now they tell me that the t1r is discontinued and the Proxy 4s are the replacements.

 

As i had a nightmare ordering the wheels they said they would upgrade my tyres to the yoko Advans and advised for front 235/30/18 and back 275/35/18. I said what width i wanted and they advised the profile.

 

I knew id need a 40 profile as advised by Jaffa on here so i rang and asked to change it to a 40. This company are buy no means quick i wait for days for a reply and most of the time i have to ring them as promised phone calls never happen.

 

The reply was to stick to the profile as this would be the profile and sizes they woulds offer to anyone and they are the professionals??

 

Ok so im still not happy and they come back with a 235/35/18 but they dont advise it and a 265/35/18 not a 275/35/18. But now they say that the toyo advans dont make these sizes. this has drawn out over 2weeks now as they take days to get back to me.

 

So my ideal size that i hope to fit would be 235/40/18 and 275/35/18 is that right?

 

I am a bit worried that a 40 profile might push the limits in the arch?

 

Cheers Dan

unless u already paid for them, tell em to stick their tyres where the sun dont shine

the 40 profile is the right size, best fiddle with the arch than run the wrong profile.

 

In terms of the tire company, tell them to get lost. I use http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/ and they are great, cheap, and come and fit the tyres at your place

Thats strange because Camskill who I have used before list TR1s in those sizes. I have used these in the past and they are a fantastic tyre....or go for the R888 if its dry and warm they perform almost like a slick :)

Since they said the tr1 is not availble ive seen plenty of places still stocking them im not sure if its the last run of the tyre or not.

Im getting the wheels and tyres as a package so im stuck with them really :(

 

Ill never make the mistake of using the company again nothing but brain ache.

 

Ill call them tomorrow and tell them i want a 40 profile on the front and a 35 rear or 40 rear?
