Good semi slicks in 285/35r18

Lozza47 · 04-21-2022, 09:25 PM

As 285/35r18 is a common size we are running especially on staggered, I wanted to compile a list of reputable & competitive semi slicks that m3 guys have run. I'm from Australia and there's really only two reputable brands I could find that make this size.

- Hankook RS4 (however rumour is they are going to be discounted)
- Zestino Gredge 07RS (currently running these, awesome value, response, grip and okay wear so far after 3 track days)

Any others you guys recommend?

I run 285/30-18 and in back with 265/35-18 on staggard wheels and it works well.
The 285/30 may give you some more tire options, like the RE71RS.

I was looking at tyre size diameter comparisons and it seems going 295/30 would be the most similar to 265/35. I'd be curious to try 285/30 to see how it feels. Do you track your car?

Yep. I agree the 295/30 is ideal but the RE71r didn't come in that size so the 285/30 was the next best size and it works fine with a 265/35-18 front.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
