rado Just sent another email to the UK firm and just got a reply , now iv'e just copied the reply .............Hi SteveApologies it was my first day back in yesterday for a few weeks and it is looking like I will not be in next week now but will look as soon as I can, SteveHmmm
rado OK changed the title ?What tires/ tyres are you running on your 18 x 8 ? Apparently Bridgestone wear out quickly, but I'm a sucker for em . What's your choice guys ? More pictures the better ?
AshDVS Michelin Pilot Sport 4 in 225/40/18I've also got Federal Evoluzion ST1 on my Octavia RS in 225/35/19 - for their price point, they're surprisingly very good.
rado The only tyre I rode and felt good on a motorcycle was Michelin , but Bridgestone on a car . Maybe worth a change. . Anyone running 215 , tiny bit of stretch
timbo The pilot sport 4 have a squarer case so less obvious stretch than other brands in that size.I run 215/40r18 on 8s and they're a perfect fit, I think 215s are more expensive than the 225s thoughThey're an excellent tyre
Jamest5r_ I run 215's on 8's as well, perfect fit if you are lowering the car, anything wider will rub
Jamest5r_ They don't look stretched at all on the car, I hate stretched tyres, they look like a perfect fit
Jamest5r_ rado What's the ET on those, any spacers ?Ah testing my brain, they are S60R wheels, et might be 38?? Can't remember off the top of my head, 5mm spacers, can fit without but just too close for my liking so I prefer the 5mm safety gap

rado Jamest5r_ I should mention I only run the spacers because of the Porsche brakesI'll go into brakes later in my ole thread. Bloody brembo brakes lol
rado DCW242 My C70 with Triton 18x8 wheels, tyres are 215/40r18. https://cdn.ozvolvo.org/uploads/MIXI30D75C00/received-3905186336199674.jpeghttps://cdn.ozvolvo.org/uploads/O3QOQ4F3W6UR/received-1195011064334934.jpegThose are my favourite Volvo oem wheels that I've seen tbh .
