Im getting 18x9 and 18x10 saleens. I want them to be big and fat tires in the back but budgetable. I want a good everyday tire that has that nice from behind look. So whats the usual tire size people will go with for the fronts and backs? And what brand? Im not looking for OMG THE BEST TIRES, just a good everyday tire.

i would also like to know too cause i have NO idea what size would look good

front- 275/35
rear- 295/35

you can go bigger on the rear but it looks funny bulging out with such a little sidewall.

what kind of tires do u have cause im getting the same rims that u have?

Adam03GT

Any brand recomendations? Also, does how wide of a tire you get affect the price? Im assuming it does but how dramatically?

265/35-18 up front
295/35-18 out back

I got BFG g-Force KDW tires... I LOVE LOVE LOVE them, they have loads of grip... on the other side of that, they cost 2x what the wheels I put them on did [:@]

The price difference between a 245 width tire and a 295 width tire is less than the price difference of a 17" tire and and 18" tire.

i got sumitomos for 680 shipped. i just got cheapies because i have some mickey thompsons mounted on different rims. sumitomos are a decent tire and have a cool looking tread, htz-r II's.

Wow i didnt realize tires were so expensive. Geetee03 do you have any pics so i could see your tires? Where did you guys buy your tires? I was thinking about just getting the tires that AM uses.. are they any good for grip and such? And are the designs cool? sorry so many questions..

I bought my tires at a local tire shop... it was the only place I could get these tires... they ordered them from a warehouse for me, was the only ones in my sizes there [&:]They were about $1200 total. The design is cool.

Grip like I said is AMAZING. The times I raced bharsen (04 GT auto, 4.10s, boltons, 275 widthDRAG RADIALS!), I was able to launch just as hard as he could, harder in some cases, even if he heated them a little. They also retain awesome grip in the wet... In snow though... oh god it's horrible. I got stuck in about 1 inch of very compacted snow [&o]It was easier to push the car out of the parking lot than it was to drive it out.

Ouch. Well they sound awesome but that seems like to much for me to spend on a set of tires lol. Do you know how good the ones from AM are?
