215/40/18 strickly summer tire??

[jesters22]

i need a summer tire that will allow a bit of stretch, i have 18x8.5 wheels, and i was looking at 215/40/18 falken fk 452's but i am unsure of any other brands that have this size in a strickly summer only tire.

thanks

225's would be better I say. Little more traction and will fit fine, of course ET depending too.

I have the same size tire. Bf goodrich gforce kdw2. Awesome tire

+1 on the kdw in 215-40-18 on a 8.5 inch wheel, a buddy of mine has the same set up on his b5. are you lowered at all? if not its going to look stupid.

This is what a 215/40/18 looks like 18x8.5 ET 32 lowered on H&R Race spring and Koni yellows.

im on neuspeed race springs and bilstein struts, wheels are 18x8.5 et 44

edit- i have heard that the kdw's dont stretch very well, something about a too stiff sidewall. but i could be wrong

i got 18x8.5 v710's wrapped in kdw-2's 225/40 and they ride fine for me. im also witting on KW V1's

Quite the opposite. The tire will fit an 8.5 rim very nicely.

people who stretch tires are idiots. You are begging for a tire failure.

Running a tire size SMALLER than stock is lame too.

i didnt ask for your opinions on stretching tires.. i asked for a good summer only tire in that size.. thanks though

^ then they always get butt hurt when you tell them it's stupid.

[jesters22]
