Classic: better on 17"s, (source: Prodrive).
Newage: better on 18"s, (as above).

Sorry to hijack this hixxy.... but I've just bought some 18's like you but am wondering what tyres people recommend. I know there's a thread for 17" tyres where the Bridgestone 070s rate highly but can't find these in an 18 size.

Any suggestions?

Turini's are 18 x 8 so youd be better off getting 235/35 for better rim protection!
