Title: Tyre Buying Help/Advice?
Post by: will2j on December 01, 2005, 05:54:04 PM
Hi Guys,

I am wanting to change the tyres that came on my imported rex for uk jobbies. The tyre sizes are:

Front 235/40/ZR18 & Rear 265/40/ZR18

Is anyone on here running the same size tyre? If so any advice on which brand and model I should get would be greatly appreciated.
Also when getting my wheels tracked and balanced, the guy as the garage was unsure as to what tyre pressures to use? I said 26 front and 30 rear, does that sound about right?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Will

All sorted now!

Bridgestone Potenza S-03\'s. Went for 265/35/18 in the end as per the sticky post in this thread.
Only got them on the rear so far as The fronts are good for a few months yet.

First impressions are that there is alot more traction now, doesn\'t kick out as much as she was and the noise I had over 100 has gone!

More of an update I can really test them :3gears-rh
