Hey guys, what's a decent tyre people are running on Calais rims? Street use, and guessing itd have to be a 205/65?

You should be able to get a 225 Micky Thompson et street under the back, I've had Kuhmo KU36's, for a cheaper semi slick aren't bad value for traction.

235 ET street!

Can you run a 235 ET on a Calais Rim though Morgan?

I'm running a 235 et for the strip on chasers i think they're same width as a calais rim.. But they don't fit that well (baloon out a fair bit).

$10 pick-a-part tyres no joke ---------- Post added 14-03-18 at 23:50 ---------- because this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6EsCj8plXo

Can confirm, currently running a 235 E/T street on my Calais alloy wheels for street duties. They provide good grip when warm. I wouldn't recommend taking corners at high speeds with them, but they're great in a straight line

I wouldn't recommend taking corners at high speeds with them, but they're great in a straight line I went 10.4@140 with mine, thats without setting up the car at all - worked well. Trying 255s on the VS, will go a basic suspension combo to start with.

I've ran 10.0 @136mph with 235 ET's on Calais rims. Stick like sht to a blanket on the track. Only okay on the street when they're new but they get slaughtered on the street asphalt
