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]

I just put 18 z06 on yesterday with 265/35, and it just goes even with the edge of the rim, I'd go wiht they 275....I would if I could go back...and I got the Kumho ecsta supra and so far its been a pretty good tire, for driving 50 miles on em ;)
