I am also using 225/55/R18 tyres.. the brand is Bridgestone.. I also have problems finding similar tyres.. what other types can I choose from?

[Yeshe]

My stock tires from bridgestone

[Yeshe]

LOL... maybe we driving the same car

[Ikeehc]

Unfortunately, not many.. so far only Bridgestone and Yoko DNA has this odd size. Not many good reviews on this Yoko DNA though, esp in the wet. Perhaps, i have been reading too much..

 

You will have more choices if you change to 235/50/18. My current tyres are sticking out of the fender and i won't want to make my tyres any wider. sigh..

[Reuters]

You bet! Mitsubishi Outlander?

 

What are the available tyres for 235/50/R18 then? Im actually looking at those with grip, comfort and quiet tyres..

Err, guys, think 245/50R18 is a closer fit, versus 235/50R18

[Yeshe]

 

yeah, i was thinking more of 245/50/18, else i will change to 20" rims

 

hows your ride so far?

[Reuters]

so far so good.. how is yours?

 

If you go for 20" rims, that means you need to get low profile tyres?

everything is fine on the ride. somehow i dun find any difference in FC when i put to 2WD or 4WD. The stock tires are abit too small IMO, thats why i m looking to change to at least 245 if i stick to stock rims. else i will move to at least 255 if i change to 20" rims. mine is slightly more than 1 yr leow, still less than 20k mileage. u changing tires soon too?

[Reuters]

Mine is almost 6 months only.. actually i thought of changing tyres when i got the car because i was looking at Hankook tyres.. smooth, comfortable, quiet and good grip.. but i think they do not have the size for our rims.. thats why didnt really go looking for it then..

so are you only looking for stock tires? or are you going for the alternatives?

[Reuters]

What are the main differences? How about price wise?

[Yeshe]

i guess lower profile tires give u better traction and control, however the comfort will be compromised. price wise i m not very sure, need advice from any bro here who also use those tires
