Tyre profile

Hi all,

I'm upgrading my 17's to 18's but want a lower profile tyre. Anyone recently made that move also? Recommendations welcome

Am most likely going to stick with falken f452's.

Cheers

I use the 18 inch falken 452s they are very low profile tyres.

Correct size for newage on 18s would be 225/40/18
Falken Fk452 are a mid range tyre, not premium

just due to the smaller sidewall
