    Mk4 Gti with 18" wheel, what tyres do you run

    I'm about to pull out my 18" wheel under my house somewhere

    According to this calculator
    Just a moment...
    http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html


    I can either go 215/40/18 or 225/40/18 with marginally over or under in speedo reading. I'm sure there are plenty of Mk4'er has 18" wheel here, what do you guy use ??

    225/40/18 i would consider getting 245, but 225 certainly does the job.

      Information wise, the MkIV R32 has 225/40/18s on it as stock. Some food for thought.

        225/40/18 brings it to within 1% of standard diameter.

        Def go 225/40.

              To hijack the thread slightly, I will soon be receiving a set of 18" Oettinger REs for my Bora and am trying to decide on tyres. I was always going to go with 225/40 but am trying to decide on the tyre. Does anyone run Yokohama Advan Sport V103? I have an opportunity to buy them very cheap (comparable to Falkens) and much cheaper than the Michelin Pilot Preceda that are currently on the car.
