depends if you got 18x7 or 18x7.5
18x7, I would go with 215/40-18 for a lil more protection and closer to stock wheel diameter.

Nitto NT-555 (my favorite) or the brand new Nitto Neo Gen. No reports on the Neo Gen yet though.

Good looking tire?

Yokohama AVS ES100 is at the top of my list. It looks sweet, priced right and performs awesome. This is the best well-rounded tire out now for a good price.

Hey Dave how about Pirelli p7000 tires? I got them and I got about 9000 miles on them and their still like brand new. Of course I dont do burn outs and drive like a maniac like you. lol I love them very much and I got 215-35-18. I got a mag where they were talking about different tires and they said my tires and good in the rain and all that stuff. Check those out.

So soon?

IMO, I think the Spec-2s look weird. Whenever I look at the tread, I feel like I'm looking at fish gills or something.

These Continental tires would look unique in 215/35-18 size (yes, they are made in that size!).

UTQG Rating is 400 AA A so you might actually get a few miles out of them. They are called "ContiExtremeContact" and they are made in Germany - sold thru Tire Rack or any other Continental dealer. Their website actually listed a weight per tire! Your size @ 19.5 lbs each was the lightest of ANY size

What about the Potenza S-03 Pole Piston? You can get 25,000 miles out that tire.

kewl...
Let us know what you decide on. You know Bridgestone is coming out with their RE750 and it would probably be another good choice, but (OF COURSE) your size is the only one that will not be introduced until later in the year!
