Default Rear 315/30/18 tires

For those of you that have gone with these tires which brands did you prefer? I am looking for 315/30/18 tires, these are for 18x10.5" rims of course. The 3 i have been looking at mainly have been the Pirelli Rosso, Falken Azenis RT-615K, and Yokohama ADVAN Sport.

what do you guys think? I wont be paying those prices but those are the 3 i have been lookin at for now.

I have the falkens, Although they arent mounted yet. I picked mine up for 300$ a pair so deals can be found on them. They come in exactly at 12" wide. Heres two pics of mine.

Dem's some nice tires, AYEO

I run PS2's on my Winter wheels and R888's on my Summer set and both are great. This really depends on what your needs are. The 888's are an "R" comp, so will not be good for anything very cold or even approaching freezing. The PS2's take a while to warm up, but grip like sum-o-bitch once they are. They don't grip as well as the 888's and take much longer to get warm, but a smidge better in the wet *rolls eyes*

Reguardless of what you do, they are gonna be expensive...... OOOOOO, I will PM you a link for 888's that is a great deal... check your inbox

Thanks for the compliment guys, they are going on 18x10.5 03-04 Satin cobra reps from AFS. Fenders are getting rolled first and also buying spacers from lethal. Ill throw some pics up when i get em on but it wont be for awhile. Most of my money right now is going into my SC kit. /hijack

18x9 AFS cobras, most likely a 285/35/18 if the guy still has them, if not idk. I try not to buy new, i jump on deals as they come along. I already have my supercharger btw, im just piecing together the neccessary supporting mods.

You dont need spacers for the 315's. You wouldnt even need spacers for 335's on an SRA car. I needed them because I have an IRS and the subframe bolt is terribly close to the inner sidewall of the tire.

And Jazzer, helping a fellow "large meat" fan out. NICE!

Man I wish I would've taken pics of my new set of 315/30/18 Hankooks. I remember thinking that they wouldn't fit under my car lol. Gotta love it, those things gave my car a completely different stance. The idiot that I bought the wheels/tires from had 275s on the 18x10.5s.
