Hey gang
I my car is nearly to collect from super7 and I am looking to replace rear tyres the wheel I got is reamemiya 18inch rims 9.5 width and tyres on them are 255/35/18, I am looking to replace them with 265/35/18 any good suggestions?
I heard that falken and khumo is a good tyre and decent price any recommendations?
Thanks guys

I\'ve no complaint with my Avon zv3\'s.....in all honesty stick with known brand performance tyres and you cant go wrong..Yoko Toyo Falken Avon Goodyear Continental Pirelli Bridgestone etc.....Stay away for Runway into wall and Wanli ditchfinders!!!

I\'m running 595-RS all round but haven\'t had chance to properly stretch the rears yet (just fit). Seem to be ok but haven\'t got the release agent off the rears yet.

More signs from today say they are very nice, very little squirm under load. Be good to see how they go round corners.
