Tyres

Gidday boys and girls.
My first post but have been lurking for years on this forum.
I know there is a lot of info on tyres but i have got back 70 pages on this forum and can't quite find what I'm looking for. I have an '05 CV8 and I'm currently running 235/40/18/95y Conti sport contact tyres. I've been told i should be running 245's. if so do i need to drop to 35's? What tyres are you finding the best?

On a CV8 they are 253/40/18. That is the factory size.

Typo - 235. Otherwise they would be very awkward to source

Told by whom? It was probably so you could have Michelin PSSs as 245/40/18 exists and 235/40/18 doesn't.

I have never needed to ask a question @ Kiwi LS2 as all my questions and more have always been answered http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/imgs/6.gif
Was told by a tyre centre and also some sites have an option too enter reg number and the results are for 245's.
Sweet ill hunt down some 235's, Any suggestions on make?
