I have decided to upgrade from the run flats to non run flats and was wondering what is the best combo on stock rims? I was thinking of 255/40-17 fronts and 285/35-18 rears. Any coments would be welcome on this subject.

Best run-flat ... Firehawk SZ50 EP RFT
(for everyday driving)

Non-runflat ... S-03 Pole Position
or Michelin Pilot Sport

Doug,

The Pilots are great for the street...
2 -- 18X10 with Michelin Pilot Sports 275/35/18

2 -- 18X11 with Michelin Pilot Sports 295/35/18

Tires have 75% tread left. The wheels are fantastic and fit perfectly on my Z06.

Looking for $2,900
