Honda FK8 Civic Type R Limited Edition Fitted with BBS RE-V7 + Michelin PS5 at Autosport Tyreworld
The rare Honda Civic Type R FK8 Limited Edition (Sunlight Yellow) is one of the most exclusive modern hot hatches — lighter, sharper, and produced in extremely limited numbers.
This special FK8 visited Autosport Tyreworld for an equally special wheel and tyre upgrade, combining BBS RE-V7 wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres for the ultimate blend of performance and style.
The result is a dramatic transformation that enhances grip, sharpens handling, and elevates the car’s already aggressive presence.

Ownership check for Honda FK8 Civic Type R Limited Edition | BBS RE-V7 + Michelin PS5 | Autosport Tyreworld
Honda FK8 Civic Type R Limited Edition | BBS RE-V7 + Michelin PS5 | Autosport Tyreworld should be matched to the way the vehicle is actually used around Adelaide, not just the tyre name or a generic online recommendation. Before fitting, Autosport Tyre World Magill checks the placard size, load rating, speed rating, wheel condition and current wear pattern so the final choice suits daily commuting, wet winter braking, hot summer roads and weekend touring.
That check is especially useful for 4WDs and utes because suspension changes, towing weight, canopy loads and mixed bitumen/gravel use can all change the best pressure, alignment and rotation plan. A practical fitment conversation helps avoid tyres that look right online but do not suit the vehicle, the load or the driver's expectations.
- Confirm the placard size and legal load rating before ordering.
- Inspect tread depth, sidewalls, tyre age and uneven shoulder wear.
- Book balancing or wheel alignment if vibration, steering pull or edge wear appears.
For local help, visit Autosport Tyre World Magill at 647 Magill Road, Magill SA 5072 or call 0452 641 023. The team can inspect the current tyres, quote suitable options and recommend wheel alignment, balancing, brake or suspension checks where needed.
