Question about tires. What kind of tires have people had good luck with? I am tuned with a lot of other bolt ons so traction is a problem below 70mph on the stock 225 40 18s. I plan on going up to a 245 40 18 but what is a good all around street tire that wont wear out just going to the store and back? any info is appreciated!

 

I don't think a 245 would fit in a 40 series. A 245/35r18 might but it'll be tight

 

245/40/18 will fit fine.

I'm going 255/35zr18 Continental Maxcontact 3's this spring.

 

Buy some DR's 245/40/18 and you will stop spinning!!! and they fit!!!

Friend used those on his GT3076r kit car and they worked better then any other set he's tried. They lasted very long for how hard he was on them.

 

see tires in sig

they hook WAY better than my stockers do

 

Aznies RT-615's.

 

i work at a tire shop, for a good tire that has grip/thread/ and wont wear out fast, yokohama s drive, or goodyear eagle gt.. very comfortable ride and smooth

 

Yea i thought about that and looked into getting a set of mickey thompson radials, but im just worried that after driving for a month the $450 i paid for two tires will be down the drain.

 

i love you, but Azenis suck.

 

Looking into those. Has anyone used 245/40-18 Falken Azenis RT-615?
I found a set online but they look new so im not sure how good they are.

 

Thanks il look into those

 

To the OP, do you have a build thread on your LNF swap?

 

Not really. I had a part out thread, and i have a **** ton of pics loaded up. Just click my pics thing on the left.

 

I have not found a person locally that has switched and hated them. <3

 

I have 235/40/18 Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs --- kickass tire! They, along with the Advan Neova AD08 and Nitto NT05 will be your best bets for traction AND handling. The Dunlops are a little better in the rain than the Nittos. I have had experience with all 3 tires and the Dunlops win for me in terms of price and traction... unbelievable tire.

In order of traction:

Advans > Dunlops > Nitto

In order of price:

Advans ($238/tire) > Dunlops ($172/tire) > Nitto ($160/tire)
