shaft Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 ive done a search but didnt find the answer i wanted. im running 9*18's front and 10*18's rear. what is the best size tyres to use? for the front im pretty sure 245/40/18 is correct. what about 265/35/18 or 275/35/18 on the 10j? also ive decided on toyo t1r from camskill. anywhere cheaper? thanks lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I use 285x30x18 on 10 inch rears, and have had no rubbing all all (apart from one time with 5 people in the car going over big bumps in the road. I also have 245x35x18 at the front The alternative is common, and thats 275x35 on the rears, although I hear more people getting rubbing with these sizes as you have slighly more side wall.

shaft Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 ok thanks bobbeh, whats the handeling like on those, tramlining etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 In the inside lane of motorways pretty bad tbh.. generally I find you will get a lot more feedback through the steering wheel though which is good, but I wont deny you'll get tramlining, its one of the downers about having wider wheels/tyres.

shaft Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 in your opinion would 245/40's and 275/35's be much different tramlining wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Do you mean on the same axel? Or for a set compared to those I mentioned? You'll probably still get some but the narrower the tyre the less chance you'll have of tram lining. Wouldnt have thought there's be a lot in it tbh.

How do the ferraris and Lamborghinis avoid the tramlining with their wide wheels, I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 By driving in the middle lane? I mean, its only a problem when the road is groved, normally it's not too much of a problem on most roads, its just more noticable than on stock tyres/wheels.
