Hi all
Dose anyone now what size tyres I can put on my sportline 18” alloys, I’ve just had them refurbished and would like to put a bigger tyre on to protect the alloys.
Cheers

The online config shows this for 18" rims

All weather tyres 255/45 R18 103H XL with low rolling resistance

Some tyre manufacturers do a thick rubber edge that acts as a alloy protection from curb damage.

Best thing is to just stay well away from curbs or pot holes.

Thanks for that I’m running 235/50 ZR18 101W at the moment.

Regarding avoiding the pothole not a chance it’s the 4x4 drivers push us in the gutter

I run the older T5 version of that wheel on my van. 255/45/18 103Y Goodyear’s on all 4 corners. (T32 so has to have the 103’s).

255’s here and done 20k and not a mark or corrosion.

Evening all,

I'm about to get some B14s fitted to my 2018 Cali Ocean, and am possibly looking at some anthracite 18" sportlines. What would people recommend for tyres considering the weight of the California?

I have hankook on my ocean, 18s. Seem legit

Have you always had 18s or changed to 18s from 17s?

Do they last though? I read somewhere on here that they are quite soft?

I have sportsline on mine which are anthacite and diamond cut. The van has just don over 10k miles and some spidering on the diamind cut in now happening,. It's due a service as its two years old nearly now so I will be sing about getting them changed under warantee but will get all one colour next time. Tyre I have were cheap ones and the fronts are wearing down so would not recomend them, get the best you can afford

I'm thinking about the older sportline are they the GP5.1 possibly? They are all one colour as I'm aware of the issues the T6 ones have

I'm very happy with my Kumho's, 104 rated as well.

Any pics on lowered Cali's guys?

Brilliant tyre in all conditions, year round use, I'm looking like getting 40k miles with 3mm tread still remaining.
And when the ice/snow comes these are outstanding; snd good on wet grass/mud with directional mud/snow tread and 3pmsf winter.
