El Vikingo Tropical Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 My have 19” at the moment, but as I have a set 18” as well, I’m considering putting this set on with a very low profile tires, the idea is getting a bit lower gearing for local mountain roads. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 No reason it wouldn't do what you want if you keep the same tread width may be aby 3 or 4%, would also lower the car a fraction too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Also 225 40 and 255 35 are a decent chunk cheaper than 235 40 and 265 40 tyres, and more choice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattman42 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 18’s with very low profile tyres might look a bit rubbish unless you have lowered suspension? Boxsters look best when the gap between tyre and arch is minimised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phazed Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 The AR1 as you said, is a semi slick tyre designed for Track Days. I have never had this make but ran the Toyo R888’s on TVR‘s on the road for years. You must remember that grip when cold is compromised, really good when warm – hot and dreadful in the wet! Any standing water and you will be aqua planning like a wakeboard! Apart from that, have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
