Default Tire suggestions for 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 wheels

I am looking for suggestions on tires for 18 inch wheels. I want to stay in the 275/35/18 and 295/35/18 range for my 2000 Camaro SS. Looking for a low road noise, performance and also daily driver tire. Perhaps those three don't go together? Thank you in advance for any suggestions on make and model tires. Mike

It appears there are not many using a 18 inch wheels on the 4th Generation Camaro. I believe Continental DW or Bridgestone Pontenza tires will do the trick for 18 inch wheels.

I'm running Nitto 555s on mine. No complaints.

Thanks for the information on Nitto. Nitto makes a 295 in a 18 inch Invo tire which is where I want to be in the rear.

I'm looking at doing same size wheels soon and I think I've got my mind made up on Bridgestone RE760's. Anyone have good/bad to say about these?

Thanks for the recommendation. I will also look into the Bridgestone RE760's. Anyone have any information on this tire?

I ran invo's on my 5th gen for about a year before I sold it. Big fan of the tire, I know some people don't like it but I had a good experience. Since I'm planning on the CTS-v brake upgrade and will need to stick with 18 inch wheels I'm either going with invos or 555s.
