I bought the wheels and tyres second hand off somebody on the MLR. I'm sure the advert said the tyres were something else but when they turned up they had the Nankangs on, which I wasn't very happy about. They didn't stay on for very long as like you say they are really cr@p and after the remap the car was a bit of a handful with them on.
I've now got a set of Rota DPT/Fighters with Yokohama Advan sports on which so far seem pretty good. The rear arches had to be rolled though as the 245's were slightly rubbing when going over any bumps at speed.
Once I get some 356mm 8 pot K sports for the front in the new year, so I don't have to use spacers with the Rota G Forces, they might get refurbished and have some decent rubber put on them.
Eddy what sort of price are we looking at for 245-35-18 Federal RS-R's?
