LOL a 275/45/18 is a 27.75" tire. That size belongs on a pickup truck.

they will prob hook pretty well, as they are very very close to a slick.

looks like a slick with a few grooves in it to me!

You'd probably be better off with a 225/50/17 or 235/50/17. Going to a DR 205 from a Sport Tire 225 (stock) seems pointless IMO
