Just sent another email to the UK firm and just got a reply , now iv'e just copied the reply .............

Hi Steve

Apologies 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, Steve

Hmmm

15 days later

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 ?

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 in 225/40/18

I've also got Federal Evoluzion ST1 on my Octavia RS in 225/35/19 - for their price point, they're surprisingly very good.

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

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 though

They're an excellent tyre

I run 215's on 8's as well, perfect fit if you are lowering the car, anything wider will rub

@timbo

Con you put some pictures up sometime please . I've not seen 215 on 18x8 yet

Jimbo throw some pictures up ?

Nice ?

Bit of stretch as well . What tyres you running ?

They don't look stretched at all on the car, I hate stretched tyres, they look like a perfect fit

What's the ET on those, any spacers ?

    Not helping Jimbo ???

    How about 185 30 18 S T R E A T C H

      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

      Well they won't rub ?

      I should mention I only run the spacers because of the Porsche brakes
