Mine came as a package with the wheels and were the best avb as part of the deal.

Saying that i've not been that impressed with them especially when cold or in cold conditions. 18" Toyo T1R 225/40

Went for T1R's as the side walls were/are harder/stiffer than the T1S's ........ But not a fan of the cornering on these tyres ........ will probably go Vredestein when I chnage next.
