Anyone with 18" rims, I have a tire question :-D - 05/10/02 09:17 AM

What tires and size are you running?!?!? Prefereably ~$200 / tire or so.

Currently, I'm looking at Bridgestone Pole Position S-03 in 245/45-18 but I haven't made my decision yet.

Thanks in advance.

Per http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html 245/45/18 is your best choice to be as close to stock diamter as possible.

I'm still looking around, in terms of specific model, but I have pretty much narrowed it down colorwise to gunmetal silver. I think it will be a nice contrast mounted on a white car.

The OZ superleggera, the Centerline Excel and possibly the SSR Integral.

I still haven't worked out all the fitment issues but those are the contenders laugh

Chew,

I personally like the Toyo Porxes T1-S

Thanks, E.

I'll take a look at those. The problem I've noticed so far is that some of the better tire brands are not available in 245/45-18 ... DOH!

Hey Eric,

I checked out the Toyos T1-S like you said and they don't sound half bad. Plus they have it in the size I need 245/45-18.

Is that what you are running on the Vette? If so - how long have you been running them and what type of wear have you been seeing?

Thanks!
