Okay, I get my VOLK TE37 16"x8 in the next few weeks, but can not decide on tire. Yes my fenders are pulled and the offset of the rim is 38mm.
The 215/45/16 is very rare here. Only Michelin Pilot Sport and Bridgestone Potenza available. Both costs about 200 USD per piece
The 225/40 is more common and only 130 USD per piece (Good Year Eagle F-1, it is my favorite brand)
I donīt want a Toyo or Falken tire, cause this sux.....and donīt come with rim damage, cause the 40 series is too low
I make about 350hp and I can benefit a bit more from the 215/45 I think, cause the diameter is about 15mm more than with the 225/40.
What would you do?
