New wheels need new tyres?

[dub-mike]

Just picked up some new 18" to go on golf but all 4 need new tyres putting on and as ive never had 18"  need to know what is a good size to fit, 225/40 is what ive been told to fit but are there any other that wont look like balloons

cheers mike

225/40's it is for best fitment on 18's.. They don't look like ballons, but some tyres do look they have a lower profile due the nature of the tyre.. ie a rounder shoulder

Has anyone used toyo t1/s?

Can't judge on the Toyo's but they are supposed to be a good tyre.

I've had Pirelli P-Zero Nero on my old Mk3.. swore by them, a bit skitty when cold.. but once up to temp the grip was fantastic. Conti Sport Contact 2's on my Anni when I got it, again a very good tyre (having to replace them though due to the sidewalls cracking and rear 2 pretty much down to legal limit) Now have put on Michelin Pilot Sport 3's, can't judge them as yet as car is having wheels done so not had chance to try them out yet.

Try Googling Event Tyres, they'll fit/balance etc at your home or workplace and their prices are really good. I've used them a couple of times and been well happy.
