    235's

    i like nankang myself, only the NS2 ultra's the rest are crap.

    ive got the 235/45 17" on my 17x8's and very good grip dry and wet and wear rate is good.

    i wouldn't buy tyres off ebay, but that's just me.

    I have 235/40/18's on mine, they seem to be the standard for 18x8 rims. Don't cheap out on the tyres, but I haven't used enough different ones to give you advice on what to get

    on the nankang site it says the 235/40/18 are for 18x8.5 rims?
    how much do you think theyd set me back for a set of 4?

    **** thats pretty good,
    do you remember where you got them, or would most tyre shops have em for the same price?

    i got them from a specialist tyre place here in toowoomba qld, streetart wheels.

    either that maybe give the wholesaler in your state a call to see who sells them.

    ive been through quite a few brands of tyres but i like these the most, especially for the price performance point.
