michelin Super Sports
What michelin Super Sports can i get for 18x8s without having speed issues, or the speedometer being off
|
Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R’s. Lol |
A) Great tire. In fact I think the Pilot Super Sport is the best summer tire out there. I run the 205/45/17 on my F56 and the 255/35/18 on my E46
B) I'd say 205/40/18 but they don't make a Super Sport in that size. There is an all season version in the A/S Pilot Sport that comes in that size however, Tirerack data show it performs almost as well but I've never tried it. (I live in Vegas, what would I do with an all season tire?) C) 215/40/18 is the smallest 18" Super Sport. It will work on an 18x8 rim ... just not sure how the added height/width with work with the rim on the car. I'd worry more about rubbing then the small amount the speedo would be off. |

Right now i have a set of JCW 17s, with a 205/45/R17
|
I cant imagine the bigger wheel would do anything to the speedo

205/45-17 outside diameter is 24.264” width is 8.071” 225/35-18 outside diameter is 24.201” width is 8.858” |
I have the Pilot Sport 4S in 215/45/17 for my summer tires and couldn’t be happier (except for the current frigid weather). |

The tread would harden and crack in our winters (down to zero several weeks ago) so mine have to stay indoors for the winter months. |
How do those 4s sports hold up? I really do not want to spend almost 300 per tire.

TLDR: They are great and in my size, super sticky, and were cheaper than most alternatives. EDIT: I see you have 18"x8"s, you should be able to get away 225/40/18 and tireracks cost for that is $198. Are you in the US? |
