18" Wheels Best Tyres

Re:18

Have a look at the other recent tyre/wheel threads, hopefully that will give you the answers you need, it did me

Re:18

I run Bridgestone S02s on 18 s for very wet days and Dunlop D001J semi-slicks for the rest of the year (street legal) - they are awesome. Recommend those.

Re:18

Where can you get these Dunlops from and how much are they? My Potenza 540s are bald!!!

Ask for Tony - and mention me (Tony Rodriguez). Same price as direct from Dunlop, but good service from Tony.

Does Kumho tyres too.

Re:18

Hi Blade

These Dunlop D001 can they be used for daily use or where you thinking of Trackdays?

Re:18

Heard of Kumho on LF. Any good??

Re:18

dragon - they could be used daily, but they are not brilliant in the wet! Ok in the damp, but if it gets cold, and slimey, then you have to potter around like you were in a 500bhp RWD car!

Better stick to good road tyres. Try Pirelli P Zero Assimetrico. My mate has just put them on his 6, and Claudius loves them too!

Re:18

Kumho are supposed to be good, but until recently I don't think they had a street legal track tyre. They are used on heavy cars, like M3's for racing, so would probably work well on our cars. Will look into it again soon.

Re:18

Why would you need a street legal track tyre??

Re:18

Hi Claudius, Blade

I have some 17 white Wrc Wheels I am probably going to put slicks on for Trackdays.
My aim is to find the best tyres for the new 18 speedline wheels that might get used for Trackdays when wet?

I have used recently SO3 Bridgestone but I feel that I need to try something else the Pirelli P Zero Assimetrico you mention would you say they are as good as the SO3 or better?

Many thanks for your help guys

Re:18

Shud be able to still get S02s in 18s - I did in December!

Claudius, I need street legal track tyres as I still drive to the track! They are fun on the road too when it is warm
