Those of you running four 10.5 X 18 OEM Wheels . . . . For year round (no snow) use, what tires are you running? Feedback?

285/35/18 Michelin PSS tires arrive later this week Very excited.

Replacing Conti DW's.

When I had 18's I ran Vredestein tires....275/35/18 front & 295/35/18 rear

I'm with this guy... 4x Pilot Super Sports for the win

I'd run 255/35 up front and 285/35 out back, personally, but if want to rotate them, 285s all around is as good as it gets

I am in LOVE with this setup. The tires are amazing, and the 18's in the front are absolutely awesome.

Doing a StopTech 6 piston BBK on Thursday, and Bilstein DRM shocks when they arrive later this month. A little lower and an alignment...and I'll be set

285 hankook RS3's. a bigger front bar will help balance the lack of stagger.

rjwz28

Well, now that they're available in 265/35-18 and 295/35-18, you can run those sizes, but before those were available, 255|285 was the only way you could run them if you wanted the factory stagger. 255/35s will fit on an 18x10.5, but if you don't want ANY stretch, you'll probably not like the way that looks.

I'm surprised at how stretched the 285/35/18 Michelin is on my wheel. I would not suggest a 255.

It would fit, but look stupid.

Here is a 255/35-18 Federal tire on an 18x10.5 wheel:

Been outa touch for a while. Thanks to all for the feedback. I'm considering 295-35 X 18 PSSs all around. Thoughts?

Hoosier A6 tires for track

I had 285s on 10.5" rims on my former Cobra and they pretty much went to the rim edge and looked good. I wouldn't go 275s as I the rim would be exposed and even a curb protector ridge on the tires likely wouldn't help prevent curb rash.

You might be pushing it up front regarding brake duct clearance at full lock, otherwise that should be a great setup double-check with the autocross and track guys, that's a common setup

I'm currently running 275-35 & 315-30. Michelin PS2s that I got from Charger21 who posted earlier in this thread (thanks Tom, I'll never be able to thank you enough for these great tires!!).
I love the tires and performance I get from them. As a bonus my fuel economy has improved a bit as well. The 275s up front look just a tad stretched to me, but, not bad. These should last me for a good while and I'm hoping that the PSS tires will have some good sizes available for me to use when these wear out!

I'm thinking a 285 up front and the 295 for the rear would look best with the PSS. The 285 looks too stretched for the rear of the C5Z - need some meat back there!

Zmeister

Agreed on needing the meat in the back. The 315s have been great back there and the traction control almost never kicks in now.
The 285s should be great up front and I think those will fit without any interference.
