What are in people's opinions are the best 185's to buy at the moment? I have 2 sets of wheels. One set is wearing 195's for road use and the 185's would be for show. I can't seem to find michelins in 185's though?

185 55s for road use if running std power (exhaust and filter and chip) anything higher like say 165 175 bhp upwards 195 45 rubber for sure thats just my opinion

I enjoyed Proxes on a 185 55 figment. The price:performance ratio was decent, however it was at the expense of road noise.

The car is running standard. What about the conti premium contacts? I've ran proxies before but I'm not keen on the tread pattern I'd prefer a straight pattern.

Mine came with the 185 conti sport tyres Jamie although I'm not sure of there availability now as I don't know exactly how long they have been on!

[jamiecrookston83]

I have seen them for sale. Four for about 200 notes. How have you found them so far?

I've only covered half a mile in the car! lol

the contis on the 250 are very good, up there with the mich PS2s I had on the R26 but offer the alloy better protection with a large rim protector

[jamiecrookston83]

haha further than me then in the last 6 months or so... I'm running ps3's on the r26 at the moment and I like them. I think though i'll go for the conti's on the williams..
