Ian W Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 jesus, they're cheaper than the cheapest crappy budget tyre i just had fitted to the audi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvez Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Be Careful. Im sure the S was rated very poorly hence Toyo changed the compound and brought out the T1 R. Just a heads up! Be worth doing a quick bit of research online before buying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be worth doing a quick bit of research online before buying have to dispute that mate i ran 265's on the back of mine (they came off when i changed wheels) and the well known brand 275's i have on now are to be honest crap in comparison, T1S is an excellent all round tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 holy monkey would 295/35s fit well on a set of 9.5x 18" rear wheels £75, cant grumble at that no you are outside what the wheel width could handle http://www.rochfordtyres.co.uk/tyrecalc.asp i am sure someone will have "stretched" them on, dont forget bigger is not allways better, wet weather performance will suffer and you will need to roll archs as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallis Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Just bought some 295/35/18's also;) What a great buy, i must say my car when i first imported it had 295/35/18's on the rear, but when i needed to change them last year i put on michelin pilot sports 255/35/18's, it will be really nice to put the car back to how it was again, cheers for the find:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schtuv Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Rubber from a pencil is better than Kumho's I suspect it would be ... there's a very noticeable difference compared to the Bridgestones I had previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 so what size do i need to put on the rear max, 9.5x18 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 so what size do i need to put on the rear max, 9.5x18 ? Check out the link in post #7. Nice find Paul, just ordered 295/35 18s. Don't need 'em for for another few months but couldn't leave them alone at that price. Some websites are still listing them at up to £200 each!

Golddigga Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Right. First of all I would like to apologise for being a twat. Now that's out of the way - the easiest way to get the tyre size required is to get it off the side of my current tyres right? I think my current ones are 255/45/17s - will check However, on the site for an imported Supra with 17's it suggests 225/45/17s? Is this just for the standard Supra wheels as I have aftermarket alloys? Don't want to order 2 chunks of useless rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Stock 17's should be 17 x 255 x 40 rear 17 x 235 x 45 front I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golddigga Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Thanks for the reply. So I gather that as I have aftermarket wheels it is easier to just read the size off the side of my current tyres and go from there. Jeeeezzzzz I am technically inept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 so am i right in saying that on a set of 9.5 rims the width i would need is 265 or275? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
