Starting a separate thread for this as it will be easier. When I picked the car up from storage I noticed the rears are old (year 2017) and need replacing. Ok, fine. Its a 2002 car with 18 inch wheels, so sizing is - 225/40 front and 285/30 rear, unless I am mistaken.
Can I find decent tyres for the rear in 285/30? No. Best I have found is Michelin PS2s - way too old IMO. I wanted PS5, Goodyear ASM (had good experience with these in the past) or Conti's.
Looking at both Camskill, Tyre Shopper and Black Circles the best I can get is either PS4S or Falken in 295/30 or pretty much whatever I want in 275/35 (inc PS5).
What sizing do most people go for on a .2 with 18 inch wheels, and where do you get them? I am not against Falken, and I can get them matching front and rear in 295, but unless I go to 275 rear, I do not seem to be able to find recent/modern tyres in good sizes to match front and back (I am not putting PS5 on the front and PS2 on the rear).
This was a pain in TVR land on the standard 15 front, 16 rear wheels of a Chimaera, which is why lots go to 17's now.
