Guys

Need help on tyres. i currently have 18" Work wheels on my S and now require new tyres.

I have Continental currently with profiles of 225/ 40 Front and 265/ 35 rear.

Advice required on safe tyres and value for $

Depends on what you want to do.

If you want aggresive street tires, I would go with:
255/35/18 & 225/40/18 S03's.

If you want longer lasting with great wet weather handling characteristics:
255/35/18 & 225/40/18 Toyo T1-S.

If you are not lowered, I don't see why you can't stay with your 265/35/18 setup.

My car is lowered 1 1/2 "and the profiles are fine- no scrubbing, so I am happy

But what brand and model tyres do you guys reccommend for 18" rims?

Does anyone know if Bridgestone make the S02 in 18"?

I went with Yokohama ES 100 and love them! I have 225/40/18 &255/35/18's. I don't think the bridgestone's are worth the money!

I too have the ES100's but upon my mustang but had S02's on that car as well as my S2K. I think for the money there is not a better tire out there. Has a AA rating for wet weather performance and they do perform better in the rain, at least upon my mustang as it has a far more tail happy then my S2K. You can also get close to 30K of mileage (or about 47Km) on the ES100's.
Both the S02 and ES100 share similar tire technology but the ES100 has slightly less dry grip then the S02, but I think for daily driving the ES100 is better. Just my 2 cents worth!

Good luck, K

You guys should also check out KUMHO MX. Same treadwear rating(220) and grip as SO3's but at a cheaper price.

I have the Pirelli Pzero on my Evo 5 wheels, 18 inch. They feel real sticky, I like them..
