Best Tires for 18's ?
I have 285/35/18's that are essentially useless in terms of ability to hook on the street. I'm thinking about Nitto's. Any suggestions?
I'm putting down about 350 rwhp and I'm running a 4.10 gear.

I love my nittos. The sizes I have are in my sig, I went with a taller tire in the rear for added comfort and I like the old school hotrod look. They have great traction and still have a comfortable ride. Nitto also makes a pretty good drag radial if your thinking about going that route.

Been thinking about the KDs over the KDW2s based on what I've read pro/con on the net. Seems like you give up some wet traction for even better dry traction andcornering performance.
Opinions?

Goodyear Eagle F1 are the best all around summer tires. All around in the sense of rain or shine, handling and traction. They have the market cornered for supercars, including the Ford GT. I'm sure other tires are better for purely dry roads, but the F1 are best for rain and dry, everyday randomness.
