Can you guys recommend a 225/40/18 tire for around $130 or less?

A4rings · 09-14-2011, 11:49 AM

Hey guys i'm looking at getting new tires on my b5 a4 and just wanted to get your guys opinion.

I'm currently running 225/40/18 nankang tires on a 7.5 rim. My car is fairly low and I'm affraid it will rub in the front if i go with a meatier tire.

I'd like to spend around $130 a tire as this car runs through tires pretty quickly, and I have a 335i with Micheline pilot sports for fun anyways.

So I'm looking for a tire with a fairly high tread wear rating (current tire 340) and I live in Cali so i can even get away with using a summer tire all year round.

Also, im looking to purchase through tirerack.

thanks for the Input guys!

audizine! lol

i never tried, but ppl have said the Achilles ATR Sport tires are pretty good considering their price... should be in the low 100s for the 18s youre looking for too.

Falken FK452's in 225/40 are around your price range.

I found this deal at a local tire shop: FALKEN TIRE ZIEX ZE-912 for $110 per tire including mounting and balancing a good deal?

Im not sure if i want to deal with getting tires shipped to me and then paying a shop to mount/balance them.
