18" Square Setup
Time for tires on my 2003 AE.
I am thinking about new wheels as well, and also about either a 18" square setup or 18/19" to increase the availability of tires.
Not looking to break the bank but willing to do what is right. Suggestions for "where" to shop and tips from the "hive" on the best sizes etc.
Thanks ahead.

I love my winter season square 18" setup on 285s. Affordable and rotatable. My current square is wagons at the rear and Z06 up front. After some brake repairs, it is almost time to go back to my summer wheels on the daily.

I just bought a square setup with Continentals for my daily and I'm still kind of shocked that the 295/35s were $300 each. I'm used to tires that are $300 for a set out the door price.

Even on my "regular" old e46, the 225/245 tires were around $200+ a tire from memory for continental all seasons quite a few years ago.
