Question Tyres

Hi Guys Please help on size choice, for a set of 7.5J ET45 18's, do I need to stick to 225/40/18 or can I go to 235's on this rim, suspension is inverted strut type, but standard ride height I think WRX JDM '02 Bug.

Also anyone any experience of the following tyre:-

Avon ZZ3
Toyo T1R
Falken 452 and maybe at a big push Yoko Parada Spec C............

Thanks......Si.

Stick with the 225's. To be safe you'd need 8J's for the extra width.

40's for a newage, 35's r classic fitment

I've had both the Toyo and Avon's and there both good tyres IMO
Avon probably slightly harder compound so last longer than the Toyo, the Avon's were quite a bit cheaper also found the Avons to be a wider tyre (in 215/35/18) so much so that on my last car the Toyo didn't rub at all and the Avons did.
Would use either of them again or Eagle F1's

Bang for your buck you cannot go wrong with the ZE912's. I bought mine from Harris Bros Tyres on Richardson Road, just behind the Vetch Field in Swansea, worth calling for a fitted price.

Simon once you have decided what you are after drop me a PM and I might just be able to save your a couple of £'s.

I helped rsedwards with some tyres a while back and they were cheaper than anywhere else.

My personal recommendation are Falken FK452's I have them on my car and they grip better than the Bridgestone RE070's and they also do not wear out as quick.
