Default Tire Help...

Mine currect tires are worn down and just got 2 nails.. So its time for some new ones.

They measure 295/35/18

I found a good deal on Michelin® Pilot Sport A/S 275/40R18

I can't find 295/35/18 just the one above. Will that work? This is my first time replacement.

Goodyear is now making the GS-D3 in 295/35/18 and it available now. Just put these tires on my C5 to replace the runflats. They were rated #1 by Car &Driver in a recent high performance tire survey. Price was reasonable..$1100 fitted for 2 x 295/35/18 and 2 x 275/40/17. (on zo6 rim size and width obviously)...Great tires.

Firestone Wide Ovals are a great choice at a great price.

I agree. I went to Z06 sizes and paid about $600 deliverd from tire rack and my TR recommended installer came to my house with a mobile unit and mounted, balance, took the old run flats for $20 a wheel. So for less than $700 I had a replacement set and they are great value.
