Title: Tyres for 18" esseesse wheels
Post by: AbarthAlex92 on October 07, 2014, 03:59:25 pm
Hi! I've just bought some 18" esseesse wheels (without tyres) for my supersport, does anyone know the tyre code for them? I know this might seem like a silly question but any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

I've asked my local garage for a price for those, but for some reason he's come back with a price for 215/45/18W. Help!

Maybe he mis-understood your instructions?

215/40/18 is standard or you can go up to 225/40/18.
The latter are cheaper and you can get better tyres as well as a bit of overhang to protect the alloy. :thumb:

Michelin pilot sport are a little costly but very tasty and seem to wear pretty well

Falken ZE914 here, BRILLIANT grip all round, especially in the rain and they're lasting longer than the Toyo Proxes T1 it had before.
They go for about 80 a tyre on ebay.
