need help with getting new tires! - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Ok so im buying new wheels for my ms6, but i switched my stock wheels out for konigs prophets that are 18x7.5 I currently have on them a set of yokohama avs es100 tires that are 225/40/18. So my question is will tires that are 235/40/18 fit these wheels? Also i wasnt happy at all with the yokohama tires so does anyone have any suggestions on what i should buy next? All i know right now is that i will most likely be wanting all season tires...

For a 235/40R18, you should have 8" rims.

Gotta say I've been thrilled with my P Zero Nero's that came with My '06 Grand Sport. I drove 150 miles through a blizzard today, and didn't run into a problem till I had to climb a steep unplowed alley.

Dry/Wet grip seems VERY acceptable. I can't imagine pushing this thing hard enough to lose it on the street.

Tracking it may be another story, but I'll definately go the Pirelli route again for the street.

ive heard decent things about the pirellis, i just want something that im gonna feel safer in the rain in, cause let me tell u these yokohamas are awsome in dry warm weather, but in cold or even worse wet weather they are HORRIBLE, i wouldnt recomend them to anyone who has to drive in the rain
