budget tire with maximum grip
I'm lookin for a set of tires that have excellent grip. For a decent price but longevity of the tire is no concern. My z is not my dd so grip is my main concern. I'm running stock 18 6 spoke wheels so I had 225/ 245 set up. Can I go wider tires with out having 4x4 status and rubbing? All input greatly appreciated!

i put on hankook ventus v12's, and love them... super grippy, quiet... and they have some stacked sizes... bought them through discount tire.com, and they were even doing a 60 dollar rebate... 680 after the rebate...
and i went a size bigger up front, and two in the back, and they look great. 245/40/r18's up front, 265/40/r18s in the back. tire guy said i could easily go another size bigger in the rear next time, so i would shoot for a 275.

Is discount tire probably the best place to look for tires or a local dealer, or is it broad asit is long and only shopping around will tell? Thanks for the input I would like to go wider. I found 5 wheels just like my stock 18 6 spokes for 335 4 having tpms sensor so ima paint them gloss black and I need tires for them.

Nitto NT05, Nitto NT01, Dunlop Direzza Star Spec, Hankook Ventus RS3 and Kumho Ecsta XS. I use the NT05 but my car is also daily driven so the wear factor of these tires comes into play for me as the tread depth is only 6/32 of an inch. The favorite of these that I've found from my friends that I autox with are the Ventus RS3's and I've always heard great things about the Dunlops as well.

Hankook RS3 or Dunlop Star Specs are your best budget grippy tires. I use them as back-up track tires for when/if I cord a Hoosier.
You can go 245/40/18 front and 245/45 rear. You could push to 255/40 all around, but I like the 245/40 / 245/45 combo for you.

6 spokes are 18x8 front and rear. I would run nothing bigger than 245 on them.
