2 315/30-18 Toyo R888's. My current NT05's might not pass inspection, so I was going to throw some all seasons on these bad boys for winter tires, but I found this deal, and after tax, shipping, and mount/balance, it will come out to be right around $400, where as the other tires I wanted it would have been $550 and they were 295/35-18's.
Thoughts?
By the time spring rolls around, I'll probably throw a set of 265/35-18's on the fronts as well and get a new wheel since my father curbed the front right wheel over 3/4 of the circumference.

Haha he did that to himself and already paid me the amount of money a new wheel would cost. I put it towards paying off my trip to denmark in the spring though. And yes, that is a whole lotta tire. Thats how I like it! should look SUPER FAT from the rear with these and grip like a ****!

Haha gotta have the cash for them. Lol I'd have it by Friday no doubt if I didn't have to make a trip payment of $750 in a week and a half. Thank god my car is paid off and my insurance gets paid annually over the summer or I'd be sol. Lol
To cp, they aren't. And those tires would be horrible in winter no matter what size. Lol but I don't really care. If it's that bad outside the car won't move.

It's funny you are speaking of getting new wide tires for your wheels and I'm gonna be taking mine off tonight and swap for the winter dumb-*** 16" V6 wheels with crazy wide 215 wide Blizzacks sweeeeet.

They do look sexy, I need to replace my Sumitomo's soon and this seems like a good deal.

you need to consider how that kind of tire will handle the cold weather. Obviously they wont do good in the snow but usually a tire like that does terrible in cold temperatures. I know my AutoX tires if I go around a corner when it is cold out they will slip all over the place if I'm not paying attention
