Luke: Tire Suggestion.

Hello.

Wich Max Performance summer tires do you suggest for my Sportcoupe (230 HP; AMG suspension).

Rims:
7.5J x 18 H2 offset 34 225/40 ZR18
8.5J x 18 H2 offset 30 255/35 ZR18

I will do a lot of city driving so as you could see tires wont be streched at all and good rim protection is a MUST.

Do you have any reference about fulda carat exelero?

Best Regards.

Interesting suggestion.

I'm now running GY F1 and they been great but the last 2 month the rubber of the tire has become very hard like a stone and I have to change them at 3/4 of use because they have become dangerous. I don't know if with new ones they have solved this problem because I have some friend and the same has hapened.

What about dunlop sp sport maxx? or toyo t1r?

Best Regards.

Luke's right! F1s are an excellent choice. I run 245/45WR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 XL, front, and 275/40YR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 back, and I could not be more pleased!

Listen to the professional.
