Basically I am running 215 40 18 fallen tyres on 8.5 x 18 rim fair bit of stretch, now I was getting tyre noise so asked on here good tyres.
I in the end went for conti's as got a better deal now I have gone to 225 for less stretch. Only problem is the tyre is massive and I mean the side wall rim protector protrudes the wheel by about 10mm now even on a standard gti rim I think these would catch.
Are all these like this it's just I was expecting the rim to still protrude the tyre.
I have 245 45 18 on my van tyre and it doesn't protrude that 8.5 wheel. I thought maybe it's a mo conti but we put two together and they are identical so new conti's are they running the extra size side wall.
