Which 315 , 18in for my car? So it's time for new rear tires, currently I have bf goodrich drag radials 285/35/18 Im not getting fronts since they are fine right now........Im not sure If I want 18in drag radials anymore so Im considering getting road tires or switching to 17x11's in the rear. If I do get 18in tires I want some 315's, I did a little research and found the following
Hankook Ventus R-S2 http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....&AID=10398365& $286 each
Falken RT-615
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=false&cs=315 $310 each

315s, depends on the car wash. It won't make it or will make your butt pucker, NOT stress free. Gotta eyeball and won't know till you get in unless you have a spotter. 17x11s, you got some options - cheapo Sumis $100 each to the GSD3s at almost $300 each. I dig the Vredesteins, about 190-200 shipped. Good mileage out of them and quiet. For grip, go good year or BFG.

well to start falkens suck. i had 275/40/17's front and rear on my camaro and they would not hook at all when warm and when it was colder than 60 out side it would feel like i was on ice. i think a regular 555 nitto would be a good tire if they make that size.
falkens and hankooks are not very sticky tires and some of the gripyest i have had was the nittos.

Those Falken's are very sticky for cornering. A friend has them on a WRX and ive smacked my head on the window while going around corners more times than i can count. Just be aware that they wear quickly because they are so soft.
