D3 18" tyre options
Love the look of the duratrac but I can't seem to source 255/60/r18. What's my options? I love the standard 's' alloys, I'm reluctant to go any bigger.
I've got a set of accelera iota's on at present. these wheels will be coming off and stored in the garage as spares. I was going to order a replacement set of the same wheels that have been refurbished and finished in a nice 'anthracite' colour. I just need some nice tyres to compliment them!
I know that this has been asked a thousand times on this forum, but I thought I'd ask again. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction for a set of duratrac's?

U won't regret. They are most excellent tyres and do everything fantastically apart from deep mud. No loss in mpg or additional noise, plus they have great wear characteristics. I've done some insane things with ATRs and without any problems, in all conditions. Will wear out the last of a set through North Cape jolly in July, then have a new set to go on. That should see out that car.

Reading up on them, it seems that you're not the only fan of these tyres. I can see that this is the start of a very time consuming (and expensive) hobby!

Just think to yourself "it's only money", makes it a little easier.

I'll agree with DSL, I've had mine on for a while now and they've been excellent.
Need to try and track down another bargain set for future use.
