Default New Tires...

I got 18" Saleen rims. Need to knwo what the best type of tire and what size I need. I know the size I have now..but I want to know what you guys think before I get any. I want to have awesome traction of course...and they have to be remotely low profile.

Any ideas are welcome...

include links and/or pictures if ya can!

THANKS!

Are you on a budget?

If no, then P-Zero Corsa tires. 265-35-18 all around if you have the 9" wheels all around. Get the 295-30-18 if you got the 10" rear.

If yes, and you have the 9" wheels all around, then get 265-35-18 Yoko ES100s.

I have the Roush rims but same size as saleen. I have BFGoodrich g-force 265/35/18 tires best traction ever. Used to spin tire up to 80mph on stock tires but now grabs the road spin tires to 40mph. I payed $335 for 265/35/18 and $410 for 295/35/18. Here's a picture of mine.
