Bravo73 1,339 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 I don't know, I'm afraid. I 'run' the 400 sizes on my 19/20" wheels. Don't be afraid to go up a width size if your particular size isn't offered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris J 55 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Ah, that was it, the 225/40 18" for the front only came in a lower load rating of 88, rather than the OEM 92. I think the load rating should be fine but as I hadn't heard of anyone else using them on the N/A it scared me off enough to try the Yokohamas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are available in 92, the 88 was shown because the 92's were out of stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris J 55 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Doesn't seem to be the case in the UK - Michelin's website brings up the Supersport as an option if you search for 225/40 18" with an 88 load rating, but not 92. Odd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bravo73 1,339 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Have you tried actual suppliers (like Tyreleader et al)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swanny71 53 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) 225/40/18 Super sports are popular in BMW 1 Series circles, lots of people moaning that the 92Y load rating version is no longer available. 88Y sidewalls are too soft for the quicker 1 series cars and cause excessive outside shoulder wear. I'm using Pilot Sport 4 on my 130i and they are exceptionally good tyres - might be worth a look? Edited September 30, 2016 by swanny71 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris J 55 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Yes, all the big online suppliers, same result each time, 88s only. This was back in July this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B430m 18 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Sorry you are right, just received an email from the tyre supplier. "Goodmorning Michael , FRONTS 225/40r18 (only list as ) 88Y ( do not list 92Y ) REARS 255/35r19 ( are ) 96Y Please check you Vehicle Tyre Placcard for load Index requirements thanks Simon" Looks like I'll be sticking with the original Pirelli's.

Gravel 102 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 On 29/09/2016 at 05:58, B430m said: I'm up for new tyres on my n/a Evora, 18/19" and after having had AD08R's on my Elise I am wondering if there's any up to date reports about running these (or not) on the Evora instead of the OEM Pirelli's. I realise that the kg/tyre is less than the OEM tyre but the 88W (560kg) should be adequate for the Evora at 265/430kg per axle. I'm still on my first set on my 18's - wear rates seem better than the Perellis and they have been pretty great for road use IMO. They are down to 4mm at the rear and yesterday's drive to work had a couple of twitchy moments coming out of junctions but I'd put that down to my heavy right foot - it's 8C and drizzly so not ideal for summer tyres.

daniel_2811 0 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I've heard the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 perform very good on the Evora's 18"/19". Have you thought about those? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A set will be going on the Exige later this year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
