Help needed pls. Looking for new 18" rubber
Guys, need some advice please. im currently rolling 225 40 18's with Falken ST-115 rubber.
In a nutshell Im not happy with the Falken - it was great in the first 10,000km - but now its gone very hard.
im thinking of going to 235 40 18 as I want a slightly wider tyre and 235 35 18 is just to low a profile for my roads.
What would you guys reccomend?
Option 1. P Zero Rosso?
Option 2. Yokohama Harding?
PS: I drive hard and do a few track events.

An inexpensive, UHP summer tire. In the price range of similar inexpensive tires like Nankang and Kumho, but much better in quality/handling, IMO.
And yes, going from 225/40 to 235/40 for 18s should be fine. It's a wider tire that also increases the sidewall height to protect your wheel better. 235/40s is what I have and recommend.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hankooktireusa.com/products_view.asp?CatID=5">Hankook Tires</a></li></ul>
