Default Tyres and or Alloys

Bit a long shot but you never know so it's worth asking.

I'm after two 255/45/18 tyres or 4 alloys with legal tyres, equal to the price of two new tyres.

I said it was a long shot lol

I think I've got a couple of spare 18"s in the garage, but pretty sure they're 245/45, not 255/45s. They were for my winter wheels before I got proper winter compound/treads. Probably not matching though - I think one is a Michelin, and one a Dunlop, can check in the morning if you're interested.

Hi Mate, I've got a guy locally who has a tyre business and he charges me £82 for brand new unbranded 245/35/20's which is an exceptional price for the size of tyre. If you would like me to check with him his best price on two tyres for you, then I can always bring them up with me when I see you next (hopefully shouldn't be long)

Regards, Mark.

Registration: 2 WXG (Private plate from 1962

Model: MY 2008 08 3.0TDI Quattro Sport, Black on Black (Transporter Edition) Lowered 60mm on drop link bars. Alloys swapped out to RS6 style 20" x 9.5". It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs.

Options: Keyless Entry & Start, Bluetooth Hands Free, Quad Zone Climate, 3 Spoke Sports Tiptronic Multi Function Steering Wheel, Black Leather Comfort Seats, AMI, Drivers & Passenger Electric Memory Seats, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Bi-Xenons.

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.

Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.

Thanks Tintin,
I'm not that bothered about makes, just no ditch diggers really.
I don't want to have mismatching sizes.

Thanks for the offer though.

If this is for an A8 255/45/18 is the wrong size, they should be 245/45/18

255/45/18 is the correct size for D3... 245/45/18 is the correct size for D2.
