Default Yokohama AD08R Tyres - 215/45/17 & 255/40/17

Hi All
I bought myself some trackday tires a few weeks ago with the plan on being on track often but unfortunately I think this year the car is going to be sitting in the garage as I have a few new commitments that I have to concentrate on, plus the wife is a little bit annoyed because they take up quite a lot of space in the garage.

They are new and unused, still got their stickers on etc.

I've got 4 of each:
- 215/45/17
- 255/40/17

215/45/17 £95 each

255/40/17 £108 each

If anyone buys a pair or a set then I'll cover the delivery charge because I'd rather them out of the way now otherwise I'll be soon sleeping in my car

Thanks

if you mean 245/40/17 then I'd be interested in 1 set of the rears.

Hi Phil,
It's 255, I went with 255 as it fits well on OEM wheels without rubbing

Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe

Thanks for the quick reply. Shame, I'd hoped it was a typo. I'm going to stick with 245 AD08Rs as I've found them the best tyre I've ever used on the car. What advantage is there in fitting 255s?

GLWTS

Phil

Hi Phil
As per above.

The weight of the 245 tire is slightly lighter than lets say a 255 however I found better stability with 255, it might be due to preference.

A bit of info on this thread, ignore the alloy width comments.
