Default NEED HELP WITH NEW TIRES

i am looking for a new set of tires. i currently have Z06 rims on with stock runflats. since the wheels are 1'' wider than the Y2k rims it just looks funny. keeping cost in mind what tire would be best and also how wide can i go without them sticking out past the wheel well.

I like the KD G force, if you look in achieves there are several polls. The one I looked up pointed to the KDs. I have been very happy so far but still struggle with traction. I run 265 35 18 and 295 35 18. :cheers: :thumbs:

Hey Steve, I have BFG KDWSes on the GTP and used to think they sucked at the track until I learned a little secret about them, they need a tad more heat than I would normally give a street tire. But once they got hot I could click off 2.0 60's in my FWD rocket EVERY time and that is on all season tires!
