Default What 315s?

not a huge fan of the tires that came on my CCWs. the CCWs are 18x10 in the front and 18x11 in the rear. i'm thinking im going to go 275/35/18 in the front and want to go with 315s in the rear. i'm assuming they will have to be a 315/30/18. what do you guys suggest on some street tires?

Well, that all depends on if you want street tires, or a set of Drag radials. There are a few choices, but not alot.

MT ET Street Radial II's in 305/35 and 315/30/18's
Kumho ecsta XS's in 315/30/18
Falken Azenis RT-615k

Then if your wallet can handle it, there are Michelin pilots and Pirelli Pzero Rosso's


Good luck with your search. I went with the MT ET Street II's in 305/35/18, since MT lists them as wider than the 315'ss.

sounds like i'll be going with the Michelins they rate the best and should give me a good all around tire. i was hoping for something with a more aggressive tread but clearly options are extremely limited. i wish the KDW IIs (NTs) came in a 315

I also put the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's on my car, 315/30R18. Hard to argue with a tire thats factory on Porsche 911 Turbo, Corvette ZR1, Audi R8 for all around performance.

Can you only put 315's on the rear? I want to put a little wider than the factory 275 40 17's I have now. What is the widest you can put on all around with no rubbing in the front?

depends on a lot of different variables. offset, lowered or not, size of the wheels, ect.

Checkout on Ebay the Toyo R888s or whatever they are. Last week they were on ebay in 315/30-18 for 300 shipped/pair. I would link you to them buy I'm at work and can't access ebay.

The bump stops were already cut on my car. I had a body shop cut out the rubbing areas of the wheel wells and push the panel back. I just couldnt bring myself to swing a hammer at it and this way you cant even tell it was moved. I didnt have to roll the fender lip either and my car is lowered on the Eibach Prokit.
