Show us your 18" wheels for 850 v70s
I should mention I only run the spacers because of the Porsche brakes
My C70 with Triton 18x8 wheels, tyres are 215/40r18.

It was one of the reasons I bought the car, I'd like another set for the 960 but they aren't easy to find.
@rado if your interested in Pegasus wheels like @Jamest5r_ I can make you a set

I was working at this guy's house today and he's got a very nice RS focus , point being he's got Michelin pilot sport 4s , nice looking tyre . At last I've actually seen them in the flesh. As said before always gone Bridgestone but yeah those Michelin look good

Don't go giving me choices Les ? 2 choices is bad enough ?️
Getting the size you need will be the issue so it cuts the choices.....
I found buying used of gumtree or marketplace gave me the cheap way to see what was good , funnily enough , a Chinese brand Ovation gave me massive fun in the metallic burgundy rocket V70T auto that was epic torque monster!
Tried them on the V60 , bought new cheaply 265/40/18 and they were good , the wheels were not!
a month later
My adaptors are slowly getting to me , they have hit Perth so hopefully get here this week and end of month get tyres fitted to these beauties
OK so my understanding is Bridgestone wear out pretty quickly as opposed to say Michelin.
In the last year the R has done under 2k . I've had the car close to 4 years now and done a total of around 20k .
So really wear isn't the issue here for a weekend car .
Hmm , I just love Bridgestone ! ?
I dont really think that they wear out faster, it's more than their grip deteriorates more quickly, some bridgestone models more than others.
eg. RE050A provides really good grip levels right down to the tread wear indicators, whereas the RE003 is quite good until you've got about 70% tread left and at that point they're not great and you'll find the limit of them much quicker than you think you should.
The S001 is interesting too as it's supposed to be a 'premium' bridgestone offering but mine seemed to really fall off with about 50% treadwear left.
The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 has a fairly boring tread pattern but offers grip until nearly worn out. If you've got 19" wheels, you can get the 4S which is supposed to be better again.
The Pilot Sport Cup 2 is very good as well but dont last long at all. Not sure if you can get them in sub-19" sizes. Worth a look though.
I've got Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on my wheels for the V70, in 225 40 18. I had them on the Focus XR5 in 235 40 18 and really liked them so bought them again. Pricing was decent and Michelin had a $100 cashback promo.
