tyre size Q.

ive done a search but didnt find the answer i wanted. im running 9*18's front and 10*18's rear. what is the best size tyres to use? for the front im pretty sure 245/40/18 is correct. what about 265/35/18 or 275/35/18 on the 10j?

also ive decided on toyo t1r from camskill. anywhere cheaper?

thanks lads

I use 285x30x18 on 10 inch rears, and have had no rubbing all all (apart from one time with 5 people in the car going over big bumps in the road. I also have 245x35x18 at the front

The alternative is common, and thats 275x35 on the rears, although I hear more people getting rubbing with these sizes as you have slighly more side wall.

ok thanks bobbeh, whats the handeling like on those, tramlining etc?

In the inside lane of motorways pretty bad tbh.. generally I find you will get a lot more feedback through the steering wheel though which is good, but I wont deny you'll get tramlining, its one of the downers about having wider wheels/tyres.

in your opinion would 245/40's and 275/35's be much different tramlining wise?

Do you mean on the same axel? Or for a set compared to those I mentioned?

You'll probably still get some but the narrower the tyre the less chance you'll have of tram lining. Wouldnt have thought there's be a lot in it tbh.

How do the ferraris and Lamborghinis avoid the tramlining with their wide wheels, I wonder?

By driving in the middle lane?

I mean, its only a problem when the road is groved, normally it's not too much of a problem on most roads, its just more noticable than on stock tyres/wheels.
