    GR86 215 40 r18 alternatives

    No personal experience but if you haven’t already seen this, is a perspective. Admittedly on the 225 tyre. https://www.evo.co.uk/tyre-reviews/18309/best-18-inch-tyres-r18-22540-performance-tyre-test

    GR86 Considering a change...

    Thruxton still have them as track cars, that’s were I drove one, if you want a bit more than a test drive.

    GR86 Considering a change...

    I had an XKR before the GR86, mine was a money pit. Sounded great and was exciting, briefly, in a straight line. The opposite of the GR86 in many ways 🤔.

    GR86 Considering a change...

    I agree, that and the willingness of the dealer network to buy them back has done wonders for the residuals.

    GR86 Considering a change...

    I’m happily sticking with my GR86, but one of our members ran a GR86 along with an A110 for a period of time before deciding to keep the A110 and pass the 86 on. Not sure if they are still active on here and can offer an update? It’s the car that would tempt me most, but in reality it’s twice...

    GR86 Considering a change...

    I have had 5 JLR cars over the years and won’t be buying another for that reason. I always hoped they would get better but never did.

    GR86 GR86 durability/robustness/build quality (etc.)

    Looks like £140 for both down here but have been warned that they may then need a refurb. Sad as they are spotless. But yes, if they need a refurb then a colour change makes sense. I’m not a fan of black wheels. Any suggestions on colour, anyone?

    GR86 GR86 durability/robustness/build quality (etc.)

    I hadn’t felt moved to join this discussion until cleaning the car today and finding that two of my wheels are no longer round. No other visible damage to tyre or wheel and I can’t remember hitting anything significant. 🤷‍♂️

    GR86 Electric Blue - From Scotland with Love

    Welcome to the club, great choice! In terms of driving roads in Hampshire, there are lots of good ones and I am sure someone more knowledgeable than I will be along soon. I do enjoy the A30 around Stockbridge and the A272 from the A30 to Petersfield and the B 2146/2141 to Chichester. My...

    GR86 GR86- Cars for sale - General Discussion

    I think most are on a 42 month PCP so May/June 2026. But I suspect all of the cars have positive equity, even at current trade in values so not sure that we will see a sudden shift in supply.

    Lovely car, the Lotus club days at Goodwood are also a great day with a good bunch of people.

    GR86 For those that are interested, a couple of vids of me at Spa, don't laugh too loud!

    At Goodwood GRRC days you can just book the afternoon. Often it will end up as an open pit lane session. Great value, comparatively.

    Do you think that wrapping them in something like silent coat or dynamat would help?

    GR86 Foxes Climbing on top of your car?

    On a more serious note, having kept chickens for many years. Two things put foxes off, male urine and strangely female hair. So either empty a bottle of the former around your parking space every few days or collect a few bundles of hair and strategically place them. The first, I found always...
