what is your preference and why?

 

...me too would like to know...TTT

 

This is a great looking and highly rated tire that comes in an 18. It is a Michelin Pilot Sport

yeah..........i knew that one would pop up.

if money weren't an option that would be my absolute first choice.

anyone else!

 

I'd get these because they're michelins and they're cheap

I run Kumho Ecsta's exclusively on my vehicles. 18's on the Camaro and 17's on the 'Stang. The 275/35/18's were ~$160 a tire and I couldn't be happier with the performance and the life of them! After many "spirited" take-offs they still look like new.

Where did you get them for $160 a tire?
Thanks

Boost Fed, was that you inquiring about the 18" Nittos on corvetteforum.com? If so, did you buy em?

 

michelin pilots cheap..........they are the most expensive i've found in the 18" almost 1,200 to wrap my rims in those, although that was the sport model.

if you know where to get them PLEASE let me know!


damn, i just noticed the price...........177 a tire!!

my local tire store is asking little under 400!

 

alright, why is a 265/35/zr 18 is 229 in porsche oe

but a 275/35/zr 18 is 177 in viper oe

and even yet a 275/35/zr 18 with no description is 327???


what the heck is going on at that tirerack site?



you own a viper and you get the tires for under 200........everyone else pays over 300??

what is the deal, can someone please explain this to me?

 

I actually just purchased those tires. Tirerack told me that they are pretty much identical to the normal Pilot Sports, but the sidewall pattern is a bit different. Michelin said that the OE Viper tire would fit any normal rim that a 275/35/18 would. The tread pattern is identical.
Tirerack just has too many of them

 

so your telling me that michelin makes two different versions of that tire?

anywhere i could see pictures of the two to compare....for that price how could you pass it up?

 

Tirerack doesn't have pictures of them, but I imagaine you could go find a VIPER and look at the tires

 

What does everyone think about the Nitto 555 tires?

I slapped a set of these on for $950 mounted/balanced.
275-35/18 (front)
295-35/18 (rear)

Tread wear rating is a little better than most of the big names -- Michelin Pilots, Goodyear, BFs, Yoko's, etc. These thing really hook up on the street nicely too .
