  • Question about 18" tire SIZE???

    I just won a set of 18" Z06 wheels they are 18X9.5 . I am being a cheap A$$ about tires. I want to go with a 245/40ZR18 by Kumho Ecsta Supra 712, out the door road hazard and lifetime balance and rotate is 655. My buddy says that 245's are to skinny for 9.5 inches. The tire guide said that 245's WILL fit a 9.5" rim. he thinks i should 275/35's which are about 200 dollars more. I am trying to get a good set of tires for a low price. My buddy says try to get those yokohama AVS dB S2 which are about 30 more dollars a tire but have a tread wear rating of 320 vs the Kumho's @ 280. Does that much tread wear rating matter. I have been to tires.com and tirerack.com. Tirerack offers road hazzard but charges shipping. Tires.com offers no road hazzard and NO shipping. Lose Lose situation. The 655 i quoted was a local joint here in town. So Help me out as much as Y'all can, Thanks [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

    Check the 245s I have on my 18x9.5" Z06 rims. I don't think they are too skinny.
