Default Need tire help asap please

Ok guys I talked to ccw today about getting the 505a wheels for my car. I plan on getting 18 by 11 in the back and 18 by 10 in the front, so my questions are what is a good tire for all conditions? I plan on getting a set of dr's but later down the line cause I don't plan on racing or going to the track anytime soon. The rep reccommended 275/35/18, 295/35/18 with some wheels called Bredestien or Bredestein that people use on bmw's and other european cars and recently started using on vette's over here that people supposedly have been raving about. Thanks for your replies

Looks like they have been in the bicycle tire market for a while, never heard of them though. However given CCW's reputation, I would put some faith in what they say.

they will both last about the same depending on how heavy your foot is, i dont know too much about the other tire, the GSD3's have a wider footprint even though they are the same size, and ive always like the fact that goodyear has a "rim protector" integrated onto the tires to keep curb checking to a minimum. the gsd3's will be a better all around wet and dry tire tire due to "V" tread design goodyear did. both will be an exceptional choice.

yeah they are, you can always go wider on the rear(305,315) if youd like, your limited to styles unless you want to fork over the money for michelins or pirellis,
