Hi,

In an 18" tyre? That is really cheap. I am lucky if I can get a 17 for that price.

What falkens and kumho's were they? Ie what model number? Just curious as that is really cheap for any 18" tyre.

[MRH-22A]

man sounds like falken ziex 326s but dammn that still dirt cheap!

[Domokun SPL]

Terrible tyres they are.

Should be around $250 for something like that, el cheapo tyre. A great tyre will be around $450

$250 is the price u'd be looking at for 18" tyres (falken/nankangs).

depending on brand/type etc.. it'll be more expensive of course.

just got news that my 18" rims may only come in after a couple of weeks.

now stuck between getting a 17" or waiting for 18"

some questions to ask:

1. whats the average price for 17" tyres? for a 225/45?

2. my euro is a 06 standard. it comes with stock 16". is it alright to upsize to 18"? will it affect the suspension or against rta rules?

3. if i get aftermarket rims, do i need to change the nuts? there are lug nuts and lock nuts. whats the diff?

:o

1. Average price for a average 17" tyre would be around $250

2. 18" on a euro is fine. You're allowed to go 2" wider than stock i think.
wider rims=harsher ride.

3. Yes, you do need to change your nuts. Using aftermarket rims require the use of tapered nuts. Lugnuts are normal nuts that can open unscrewed using a normal socket. Locknuts require the use of a special key that is specific to the locknut.

$350 for alrite quality tyres, and can go up to something like $500 per corner for the really good ones (got quoted $500 for nitto 555's awhile back).
