Hi just a quick one, how do the vredestein tires run on shape and size compared to other brands?

Many thanks

Bump, thought there was loads of people running these. Just want to know if i can get away with going 235mm instead of 225mm on my wagon.

Your first post was a bit vague and didn't make much sense to be honest mate, You need to give as much info as possible what size wheels are they? how wide? classic/newage? Lowered yes/no?

I wanted to put 235's on my wheels but due to the 225's scuffing on a 7.5" rim occasionally, i stuck with 225's even when changing to 8" rim.

Vredesteins have a good sidewall which protects the rim, less so when their stretched over a rim. I would say rim width dictates what size tyres you can get away with, i know you can get way stretching smaller width tyres over wide rims but i wouldn't put wide tyres on narrow rims.

Someone should be along to help soon.

Hi, maybe this will make more sense. I was just curious to see if a 225/40/18 vredestein is the same as say a 225/40/18 p zero nero, as i know some tires of the same size can vary from brand to brand. Some have a squarer profile sidewall, some have a round etc etc.
I currently have 225/40/18 p zero's fitted to my 18x8" pff7's but i will swap to say a 235/40/18 vredestein if it runs slightly smaller or different shape.
Do the vredestein's have rim protectors?

Many thanks

Ah now i see, well to be honest i couldn't tell you but i never noticed them being any different but it was a few years ago on an my old WRX i had P Zero's on. Yes the Vredesteins do have rim protectors mate and are the best tyre i've had on either of the scoobs
