Default Vredestein tires
I am looking at these tires for my 02 coupe. Stock rims, the rears are 275-40-18. Seems they don't make this size tire. Closest is 275-35-18. Would these fit without issues, or if not, what size would I be able to use?
Thanks

I have these on my 02 Z06, work great, no issues.
They work really good in wet weather.

I have these on my 01 Vert, great tire can't beat them for the price and they look awesome. Not a lot of guys know about these tires a lot of import and euro guy's use these Go with 295 35's on the rear. And whatever size you feel comfortable with on the front. I think you can go up to 255 on the stock 8.5 front rim. I went with stock size up front.

Had them on my old TA, great tires, long lasting tread, great in wet weather, and very grippy!

Are they a noisy tire? I've had some really loud ones and although I like a lot of grip in the rain, it only rains a few days a year out in Cali so quiet is worth a lot more.

I am not really concerned about noise, how loud can tires be! I just turn up the stereo!

Compared to the run flats they are very quiet.
