    Hi everyone, I have just bought a set of 18" BBS Challenge wheels for my 360 Modena and wondered what the consensus was on the best set of tyres for fast road use. The wheels are 8" x 18" (fronts) and 10.5" x 18" (rears).
    I have a set of Pirelli P Zero ZR18s on standard (magnesium) rims at the moment and perhaps these would be OK.
    I would value some opinions.
    Also what is the best method of cleaning the engine bay as mine is very dirty/dusty? Don't want to just hose everything down with water (and cleaning agent) in case I upset something electrical.
    Help!!

    I like the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's on my car currently... good all around tire.

    I fitted my stock p-zeroes to my challenge wheels. All good. Would prefer to jump up a size to 225 and 285ish but hard to get a matching set.

    On my 18" CH wheels I wanted to make use of the extra width so went for PZero Rosso 225/40 front and 285/35 rear.
