Tyre Recommendations Please??

[magicgreg]

I'm changing my wheels to a set of staggered 19's very shortly and was wondering what options people have gone for...

The fitments will be 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 I'd imagine.

So far I've priced up the Avon ZZ3s...any further recommendations?

Cheers

Don't know how cheap the Avons can be bought, but I'd have thought the Vreds would be a better option at a similar price point.

Forgive me asking stupid questions, but do the many references to Vreds across the Forum refer to vredestein tyres?

I've just fitted Avon ZZ5s. Good tyre for the cash, and wear rate is improved over the ZZ3, plus have more grip

Yes, usually referring to the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta specifically.

Seems the Avons or Vreds so far then...

One clarification point that someone may help me with...

The wheels I'm looking at have the following details, can someone confirm if they will fit ok on my 07 Z4C:

Stud Pattern - 5x120
Fronts - 8.5x19 Offset 38
Rears - 9.5x19 Offset 35

Looking to fit a 235/35/19 on the front and 265/30/19 on the rear.

I always thought that the offset of 45 on the rear was best....what would be the deal with the offset of 35 on the rear?

Thanks again

The smaller the offset - the more your wheel will stick out from the main body of the car.
