Default tires

Alright well just got back from dealership in my 7500 mile maintenance and they said i might wanna look into tires soon so im thinking hell ya i wanted new tires and now i have my reason...

Anyways ive been looking into the nitto Nt555, pricing is great everything. But I know nothing about the size... I want complete grip and great handling of course, but the 225 or the 245?

I was personally thinking the 245 cause wider looks better, but i wanna make sure it doesnt change the ride factor. Let me know cause i knnow a lot of you are tires freaks and know every reading down to perfection. Thanks

Whats up my little Texas friend??

I thought you were gonna send us your wheels to powder coat black?

Anyways for your stock track model wheels, you should go with some 255/35/18 fronts and some 275/35/18 rears.

You need new tires at 7500 miles? I'd expect the RE040s to last at least 12k even if driven like stolen...make sure the dealer isn't taking you for a ride.

If you need new tires at 7,500 miles, you must be doing some intense driving. As boring as it might sound, I recommend the OEM tire size.

Since you live in Texas, get a summer tire. I highly recommend the BFGoodrich KD (Not KDW or KDW2, those are all season tires and don't grip near as well as the KD).
