brillomaster Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 does it have to be slicks? Can get brand new Kumho KU36s in that size for about £70 each, or Federal 595 RS-Rs for about £80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can arrange a courier to pick them up so don't bother adding transport. Cheers mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Will, Sorry mate, he also only has 18" Remember that 45 is a road tyre profile so you should be looking for something like 225/625x17 Try eBay. Alex.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
