New tires - 225/40/18 - suggestions? (Pilot Sport 3)

[Mdanrex]

Is anyone here using the PS3 or the R003 on track as well or just a daily tyre? And themarvel2004 how is the wider tyre on your car compared to a 225?

but actually might be smoother over small bumps

Probably due to new tyres with a full 8mm of tread

The PS3's are not a track tyre - very few road tyres are
The R003's would be better on the track, Goodyear F1A2 even better
The Hankook TA Z2221 semi slick would be the hands down best track tyre - but not a tyre you want to use daily

Re width - it gives a little bit more contact but hardly noticeable for me. I think it sits pretty straight on my rims - no stretch that is for sure!

What's the width of your new rims?

They are 7.5 I believe. Stock VW R32.

The choices and reviews and opinions are endless. Here the reviewers rate the toyo really high yet in Europe it's amongst the worst. Continental sport 5 seems to come up as the number 1 choice all the time.

Bridgestone are doing a 4 for 3 at the moment. I grabbed a set of Potenza RE003 from Jax

That's a good deal on a good tyre - enjoy
