I occasionally push "it," but I know my limitations. I never liked the OEM 225/45-18 fonts and 245/45-18 rears. That arrangement ( I have a 2003 Performance model) provides more under-steer than I want in a performance car.
To get better handling, I selected to go with a wheel/tire arrangement that provides more neutral handling. So, I put 245/40-18 tires on the front and 245/45-18 on the rears. My decision for this setup was to maintain the Z's VDC function (again, my car is a 2003 Performance model equipped with VDC). This setup is just great. I am running Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, and I really like this tire. It's really fun to push the car hard with this tire setup.

People, i have no problem with 245/45/18 all round very nice handling and i like it that way, but feel like lossing a bit of power when dragging and trying to pick up at low rpm, overall 245/35/18 is really good.Good handling no vdc issue and no slip so far, been driving hard since tyre change.
+1 to 245/45/18 all round
+1 dunlop sp sport max , really worth the trouble,money and time
