Tyre Size for 18" Wheels on MY01
#1
Help please. There seems to be some confusion over the correct tyre size when talking to suppliers. I thought the correct size was 225/40 x 18. Can someone please confirm.
I'm considering some OZ Prodrives and would also like a recommendation on tyre make.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Tyre diameters:
Std MY01 215/45x17 = 626mm
225/35x18 = 615mm
225/40x18 = 637mm.
As you will see, the 35 profile is a lower diameter than std, and the 40 is higher.
Neither will make much difference in the real world - +/- less than 2%.
I am running 35 section on my track tyres, and have run them on the road, and you will find some ride degradation due to the lower sidewall, however they do turn in better - horses for courses.
As for makes of tyres, we ran a set of 40 profile Pzero rossos, which were ok in the dry and poor in the wet, replaced them with Toyos, which are very good. On mine, I have S03's which are up there with the best wet or dry. Used them on the Nov Brands track day and they were superb in teeming rain.
