looking for 18" tires - 295/35/18 for back and 265/35/18 for front.

i dont want the most expensive tire, but i want something that looks really good and mean, and also performs pretty well too.

i was looking into the
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2
Kumho ECSTA MX
Yokohama AVS Sport

can anyone say anything good and bad about those tires. or recommend anything else?

thanks

 

I have the gforces 295/35/18 on my car... They were awesome for the first bit but now they suck..it doesnt help they are bald tho..lol

 

i have only heard good stuff about kumho.
but stay away from the yokohama's, that is what i am running, and i cant get any traction.

 

Went to price out tires today and i was told. that
265-35-18 will not fit on the car with my 18X9 rim
and 295-35-18 will not fit the car with my 18X10 rim..

i heard Saleen came with these tires sizes stock.

can someone give me peace of mind that these WILL fit with no problems atall. and look good too. lol

thanks

 

yes they do fit.. I have that exact setup on mine!!!

 

I have 712's on my car, I give them 7 out of 10 for wet pavement
8 out of 10 in dry cornering, 6 out of 10 straight line traction.
2 out of 10 in reverse any road surface condition... lol

 

if you can swing it i got my nitto 555's on the stang for 200 bucks each.

 

If you want traction and are going to the track get a Drag radial for the back...
otherwise the Firestone Wideoval are a decent tire for the price and they do make a 18's

225/40R18
295/35R18

 

Kumho's are great. I'd go with them if you can

 

They are a hard compund tire though..I had them on the FSVT and found the ride to be quite stiff..I opted for the Fuzions once they wore out..but I dont see them listed on Firestones Canadian page anymore.
