Found some for 125 each. Thought for that cheap if they can get me out of trouble for the mean time and they still have a decent amount of grip I will just get them. Keep them for 3 months and then burn them off and get some really good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 40 series 18 will have a load rating greater than 93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the same with all tyres? if there a 40 profile they will all be above 93? Anything lower and no insurance. I dont want any lower any way.

Good way to end up in a ditch.Stay away from the cheap tyres and stick with the name brands.You can get 245/40/18 Kumho KU31's for $170 a tyre fitted and balanced from Tempe tyres who should also be able to ship them to where ever you are for not much money.

When I rang bob jane they wanted 340 for each tyre of the kumo ku 31's. I am getting some decent tyres now. Had the same thought. Cheap tyres on a performance car is a good way to end in a ditch... Even if I only have them for 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
