New Tyres To Be Fitted On Monday.


Recommended Posts

I went for the Nankangs this time as these are to be fitted to the rears on my car, But when i come to fit new fronts i will go for a more softer compound which obviously will be more expensive,

This time i am going for 225/35/18s i thought 40 profiles were small but seeing is something else on the 35s.

The price posted were £65 each inc of VAT, Delivered to the door,

As you can see in the pics the difference in the diameter which was putting my speedo out, Was 6-7%,

Furthest tyre back is the Michellin Pilot 225/40/18, You can see the difference in height.

Profiles of the tyres 35s are small compared to the 40s, Damaged rims ahead if i hit a pot hole.

I just got my new 225/35/19's today - if you think your sidewall is tiny, think again. All you gotta do is pay attention to the road and potholes shouldnt be a problem!
