What tire should I run I am going to be buying a set of 18" wheels. I had planed to run 275/35/18's in the front and 295/35/18's in the back. I wanted to run the Goodyear F1 GS-D3's because I like the tread pattern, but they don't make them in the 295's. I have almost given up and decided to run 275's all around. Here are my choices if I run the 275/295 mix. Can you please tell me what tire you would run and why. Please keep in mind that I want an aggressive tread pattern and won't be driving the car in the rain. You can see all the tire at the Tire Rack------>

I think the size needs to be a 275/35/18. I ran SZ50's on two other cars and they were good when they were new but traction wasn't good after about 6 months and less than 2k on the tires.

The EPs are a supposedly a lot better tire. Looks like 275x40x18 is the only 18 they make. That's all they list here http://www.bridgestone-firestone.com/.

from what ive read, the GS-D3's tend to run a bit wider than other tires of the same size, so you might be able to get away with some 285 GS-D3's. just something that might be worth lookiung into, good luck!
