Been shopping around for semis to fit the 17x9 and 17x10 rims. I have literally checked every tyre on the CAMS production tyre list.
Seems a lot of manufacturers don't make a semi to suit, or the biggest is 255/40/17. Kumho, Toyo, and Nitto do. I am looking at ordering a set of the R888 in 255/40 and 275/40 from tire rack as they are about 30% cheaper even after $400 in shipping.
SOme companies are asking ridiculous prices- $600 for a single tyre...
Tempted to try the Kumho V70A semis, but quite a lot of people online have said they just don't last. Hearing this, I think they may not suit the bug heavy Soarer, so R888 it is. They are pretty cheap though, especially for actually buying in Australia.
