Couple questions guys

alright guys first the needs come first so im buying new tires because i need them and well i go to mavis today and well they told me that if i go with the 225,45,R18 G-Forcers imma have to change all 4 tires, and i only wanna change the fronts and i want those tires, are they screwing me and telling me i have to change all 4 or can i throw em on the fronts, oo the reasoning is becuase they say the patterns are different and they are slightly wider

second, im ordering pulley and injectors and all, now am i gunna be running safe with 60# injectors and a 2.8" pulley and sooner down the line throw a second H/E on, oo and the tune will be very reliable, its gunna be coming from BCP,

You can change tire size on the axles, in other words, front tires can be a different size then the rears. With that being said you could have problems with the ABS. ABS works on wheel speed, and different sized tires spin at different speeds. The tread pattern doesn't really matter. The different tires will handle differently...because they're different tires, but different tread patterns can't cause major problems.
I work in Sam's Club Tire and Battery, that's where I'm getting most of my info from on that.

On a 2.8 pulley you can deliver enough fuel w/ the 60# injectors, people are running 2.5 pulley's on 60# injectors. I think you can run 42.5# injectors on a 2.8 pulley, but they're getting close to maxing out.

discounttiredirect.com beat the prices tires-easy had. They have free shipping and no tax. I got the Falken FK 452 for 135 a tire. Next cheapest is the Kumho SPT at 107. That is for a 225/45/18.

the 42's and 2.8 is not a good idea.

can be done with other things. but not a good idea.

Thats what I have on my balt, they grip pretty well above ~60 degrees. They do need to warm up a *little* before they grip, so if your planning on doing auto-x or likewise your first lap will be rough. They're much better then the coopers my first balt came with heh.

***EDIT*** I just noticed you linked the 215/45 18's, I'm running 225/40 18's so there might be some slight differences. Mine are on the stock wheels, so you could change the size and they'd still fit, you'd have to ask my bro about fitment/handling/abs/speedo.

If you want the ecsta SPT go to tire rack(www.tirerack.com), I got one (was damaged from dealer, getting reimbursed) for 101.change shipped, that was with next day shipping (shipping was 14.**).

Get 225/45/18s. They are cheaper. More grip, cheaper price, what could be better?
