    toyo do a 888 in 225/45/13, road legal, but not a great all round tyre being very poor in heavy rain.

    demon tweeks or mytyres.co.uk

    I use the Khulna v70’s liked them more than the Tokyo r888 and yoko a048,

    But haven’t run them in the rain yet, I did use my a048’s in the rain and damp, and they were fine when warm, useless if you his standing water tho, but the water I hit (when I had a little off at croft due to aqua plane) don’t think any tyres would saved it.

    V70’s are a far better tyre than 888’s

    I agree having used both the v70’s are better when pushing hard,

    I paid £650 for 5 tyres for the v70’s fitted, £130 a tyre

    You should be able to stumble on used 225 wheels, so they should be affordable, plus, you do want tire choices in the future.
