Default Summer Tires

Im so excited for the summer.
Gonna burn the garbage the previous owner purchased and then im going Bridgestone Potenzas on all 4 corners.

I was thinking about Pirellis but i love my Bridgestone Blizzaks so much that i figured i may as well get the Potenzas to match.
Besides which it looks like these last way longer.

What was the size GXP guys are going with up front?
275/40 R18?

Heres the link

Nitto Invo's!!!!! Went from goodyear eagle f1 supercar tires to these. 255/45/18

All I can say is wow. Not sure how long they will last (eagle's only lasted 17k miles), but holy crap, the grip is fcking awesome. No more spinning tires on downshifts! I swear the car feels faster with these tires. Well worth the price.

For the money I was quite surprised at how well the riken raptors worked. They aren't as good as high end tires but for 315 bucks mounted on all 4 corners on my old truck they were good.
