I have 215/35/18's on my car at the moment. The ride is a little harsh

Would I be ok to fit 225/45/18's to improve the ride a bit?

Not really, they would be way too big. fit 225/45/16

215/40/18 will give you some more sidewall, I would imagine 225/45/18 will rub on the inner arch liner on lock and give you huge speedo (not the budgie smugglers) errors.

I am sure the eagle f1 asymmetric 2 are designed for a softer ride, reviews seem to think it helps.

Hmmmm, my coupe is only a weekend car so not to fussed about the speedo errors as could set up the sat nav and work out what 30,40,70 read on the speedo.

Really just after a better ride.

Jim, whats wrong with the 80's speedo's then ;-)

The more correct 225/35-18 would also soften the ride a bit.

(People forget it's "35" PERCENT of the tire width..)

thanks per. Would also stop me kerbing my refurbished 18's which I have done 3 times already

I had 225/40/18 on my pro race 1.2 rims and they did rub a bit on full lock and a little on the rear arches, the speedo read spot on though all through the range (I checked it with GPS) its way out on the 45 profiles and plus rims!!

225/40/18's may be the way forward for me then.

im thinking of 18s with suitable spacers , will these be the best tyres to get for a small degree of comfort atleast ?

these wheels are what im thinking , nice an cheap , fed up throwng silly money at the car so cheap wheel an tyre package for me
