well been searching for the right tyres for a some RX8 alloys, and have been looking for a while now and want to keep the rolling distance as true as possible, i have found some hankook which are 225 x 45 x 18 99Y at £99.50 on the net.
just wondered if anyone knows any other tyres brands of the same size and with the correct load index that are reasonably prices and where to get them from

Unless, of course, they are chrome RX8's.
Due to the shineyness of the base surface, they need a stronger degree of lagging around the rims.
Harrods supply the size you require for the chromes at £995 each + vat + fitting + balancing + valves + service charge.
If you can't stretch to that, I'll give you twenty quid scrap for them.

Hi
I think the Hankook tyres are not available yet, in fact according to hankook they haven't gone into production.
I went for 95 rated tyres, which probably has more load rating than the rx8 alloys there going on.
