Cheers Doc (I won't mention that you replied on here before the woc)
A lot seem to go for 215' - there does seem a bigger choice, does it help with clearance a bit too?

Sorry mate, but this topic has been posted so much recently it's driving me INSANE!
I'll speak to Stu about this as it's getting ridiculous - please see below for helpful info.

If your driving style is not too hard and you drive spiritedly but not overboard within the limits we are all bound by on the public roads these days, then I would definatly recommend the Falken 452's.
I recently went through this whole debate about which tyres to fit to my P1 with the 18" P-WRC wheels and although I would normally have gone for a top branded name (Pirelli/Goodyear etc), my budget dictated I would have to give the 452's a try.
They hold very well in the wet and dry and are not too harsh on the ride. The size I went for is 225/35/18.
Camskill are usually best for price allthough I paid £380 for a set of 4 fully fitted and balanced which was not far off from the camskill price + fitting and i kept my local tyre guy happy buy buying from him!
The saving in cost over other brands will definatly make you smile!
As I said, this depends on your personal driving style, If your a nutter with a lead foot and want's sideway's action all the time then these tyres are not for you....
Good Luck.

Mate - two things you should do:
1. Don't be daft paying £110 each for T1R's - I can get them locally for less than £85 a corner for 18" 225/40's.
2. READ THE THREADS I posted!!!!
Sorry if I sound like I'm banging on about this but seriously, these questions have been asked time and time again and if you read some of the threads I've posted you'll see the outcome.
