Default 315/30/18 help!?

Hey guys and gals. Getting my new set of forgestar f14 18x11 wheels in a few weeks and I'm torn on what tires to get. Car is a daily driver buy is also going to be taken road course driving and autocross too. I was looking at yoyo r888s but I may have to drive this car in the rain every once in a while any input would be awesome

The r888s are ok, and I use them as my street tire. Tracked and autocrossed on them in the past. I was not a fan.

Here is a pic with 295s on a 18 x 10 and the rear is a 315 on an 18 x 11. They fit well on the 11.

I would also suggest considering the Yokohama Advan AD08R in a 295 /30 18 for an all round tire. Tread wear is 180 and on track I was happy, as well as in the rain. I have them on a 18 x 11s. They are maximum rim width, but worked well and did not look terribly stretched. They are also only 25" tall, not the 25.6" of stock.

Those are tires I have used recently, and I have been considering trying 315/30 18 BFG Rival S. No experience on them though.

I have Rival S on my car and they are very good for AutoX. I don't think you can get a tire that can meet all your needs. And the selection is really limited on tires in that size. The Rival S is the best 315 for AutoX and that was all I cared about. Fine street tire, but I have not driven in the rain yet and I have no idea on the tread wear. No idea on a road course, I haven't had them on one yet.

Rain: They suck. Will get you where you need to go but not very quickly and get scary when they are worn. Expect 10k-15k street miles if you never autocross them or take them to track days. Camber is your friend.
