Help finding a better fit tyre please?
« on: July 27, 2011, 02:40:09 pm »
Hi all.
Currently running some RML snowflake alloys 18/8.5 wide) with Vredestein tyres, 225/40/18's. Which are great.
But want some slightly smaller tyres to help it get lower when at shows.
Been looking on ebay, but not too sure what I can get away with, and what is a good make, don't really want to compromise the ride quality too much either  :laugh:




thanks.
