MK 2 Tyres

Do these from K-Tec actually fit a MK2 without any problems?
Anyone tried them?

Wouldnt a 255/35/18 T1-R be closer to the oem rear tyres? http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalcul ... ion=submit £132.20 from Camslill.

Personally I would stick with the correct sizes

Ive just bought a pair of vredestein had them on my 17s and they were great in wet and dry so no reason shouldnt be as good for the 18s, http://www.vredestein.co.uk


although James those wheels you have are slightly wider then the OEM wheels I think so you may need to see what was fitted to the Trophys

Just thinking of a set for my OE wheels as they are bald as a baldy thing.

I notice Toyo TR 1 come in 245/40/ZR18
I wonder how much they are and why K -Tec didn't choose as they are the same size as OE MK 2?

i had the T1R, its good for you to learn the car on with all the squeal and noise near limit
but if think i would like some more gripper tires instead, and harder sidewall for more feedback...

but as for sizes, i had a +1 sizing from 215/245 race dot tires before, and now back to 205/235 oem t1r
with 215 front, they rub inside when it is max lock
with the oem sizing, the car felt much more alive, well due to lower grip also i bet
i drives a mk1 tho...
