Tires What is everyone running for tires?? Recomendations?? I'm going to be getting a set of 18 X 9.5 fronts and 19 X 11 rears. I have no interest in drag racing but am all about the corners. These tires will only be used for the street and I'll run offroad tires for track days.

Well, the LG motorsports video that they posted from sebring a week or soo ago was actually on street/shaved TOYO's. They highly recommend them.....never tried them myself but,...I do like KUMHO's for HIGH horsepower street cars that like to go fast, as in waaaaaaaaay over 150 fast, and still be in control. They are also great for drag raceing, if your good with the clutch.
Do NOT get Firestone Wide Ovals.
The best in my opinion are the Pilot Sport 2's. Excellent traction. I just received mine today and will be having them installed Wednesday.
You can also go to www.tirerack.com and check out the reviews. They are fairly accurate.

Pilot sports are great but very pricey, im on my third set of KUMHO Mx's, great tires and great price, i have gone thru so many sets because of HPD's, Maybe this season ill switch to v710's

The front tires, for example, are stock 265's. The firestone tires have a tread patch of 9.1". The tires I just received are also 265's, but have a 10.1" patch. The firestones have a lip guard that makes it look like your wheels are coming out of your tires. You not only lose tire patch, but you lose out in overall appearance as well.
If anyone likes them, I'll be selling my set after I have these others put on. (looks like it will be after this weekend) I'll sell them for $450 or so plus shipping. They have about 2k on them. (2) 265/40/17 and (2) 295/35/18 stock Z sizes.
