I Need New Rubbers

[iCedMan]

I know this is a general question...but I got new wheels and I'm not worried about rubbing but keeping a nice look and the best performance possible...what exact size tire setup should I run on my ACS Type 2's in 18x8.5...I have a winter set of wheels so snow traction doesnt matter...

[runetang]

I'd go with 225/35/18, or 235/35/18 if 225 isnt enough grip for you.

[iCedMan]

not that it isnt enough but I want the best performance possible without adding too much weight not making my rims look too much smaller...you think 235s are the best to go? plus 225s on potholes in NYC would get bubbles easier right?

[Rob ITR1035]

it depends more on the sidewall than the width.

either 235/35/18 or 225/35/18 would keep your gauges correct

[iCedMan]

so what exact tires should I Setup do you think 235 would be better but would look a little less?

[E36DJ]

OK well more traction and contact area = more performance (in accelerating and especially braking.)

You could get away with 235/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear. The first number (width) is a percentage of the second (sidewall height) so if the width is higher and the sidewall smaller, the overall width of the tire will look the same.

Those are the sizes I'm running BTW.

you kno whats more aggravating they keep telling me my sig is against forum rules and I still dont know why...
