    .........should i fit on the 18" JCW R105's??

    I'm confused, so many options, am looking for the nearest to the correct circumference as possible and for a softer feel

    Think they are

    205-40-18

    Either Dunloop SP SPORT 01 or Bridgestone POTENZA RE050A should do it

    Cheers Martin i'm actually going the non runflat route, Toyo Proxies T1S

    Edit: I can't find T1s tyres anywhere, so, will stick with T1r in 215 40 18

    Alan,

    I use 215/35/18 on my wheels and they are Toyo Proxes (T1R) I wouldn't pay anymore than about £95 to £100 per corner fitted..

    The tyres seem fine to me re comfort etc, but I don't have sports suspension plus (or is yours JCW ?)

    I run 215/35/18
    In my opinion these are a bit too harsh and find my coop handles beter with the standard 17 wheel size so im changing back to 17s in the spring!
