Ideal Tire Size
What do you think is the perfect tire size for street performance on
Turbo Twists 18" Front 7.5 ET45 and Rear 9" ET52 I am upgrading from 17" to 18"s this summer and am looking for the perfect style, look, balance and street performance. Probably will get either BFG or Michelen Summer Tires |
Front: 225/40/18
Rear: 265/35/18 Those are the OE sizes for 18" wheels. |

For "street" performance tires look at Pilot SuperSports. Not low cost, but simply a great tire. For lower cost options, Sumitomo HTR ZIII and Hankook Ventus V12

Rear: 265/35/18 Is what I run to minimize understeer, the 235 fits fine on OE wheels which have ET 50 offset |
You need to be a little careful with 235 on the front, it can rub the fender liner at full lock
depends a bit on what actual tire you use. Check the diameters and see where you are |

What is the "Ideal" tire size???? Well what the engineers put on the sticker under the hood of course. Personal preference may vary.

You do need to look at actual tread width. It varies a lot from tire to tire.
You can have 225's that are actually wider than 235's |

Under steer is not all negative either ... |
