Default .: Best rubber for (18") NISMO wheels

My friend has just got those 18" NISMO bronze wheels and we need to know the very best rubber to fit it...

Need your opinion about...brand, series, sizes...

- YOKO
- TOYO
- MICHELIN
- PIRELLI

Thanx,

Andre

19" Nismo rims? Are you certain?
I have the Nismo rims, and they are 18".
Went with Yoko rubber on them to keep the Japanese theme going.

Default Goodyear

GoodYear Eagle F1 GS-D3 Run Flats

Approx $225 to $25o each. Tire Rack is good place for price.

Smooth ride, and noticably better for bounce.
I have 4000 miles on mine and no appreciable feathering and no roar, like with the OEM potenzas.

I am very happy with mine.

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's all the way. My Nismo wheels and these tires are the absolute best performance improvement I've done to the car. Totally changed the handling--the tires stick like glue but are forgiving when they break. Improved bounce by at least 30% or so.
