I've got a set of 18x10/9 wheels that I'm ready to buy some tires for and need your opinion on which to get.

Here's what I'm looking at:

NT555 in 285/40 and 275/40

or

Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercars in 285/40 and 255/45

How do they compare? I have the Nittos on now and like them but the F1 is cheaper everywhere I've looked. The only downside I see to the F1 is that I can't run a 275 up front. Your thoughts?

I run Supercar F1's on mine. 245 in the front and 285 in the rear. I love em. On my second set now. Only thing about them on a cold day they slip a little. But when ya heat em up you grip really well.

When I replaced the first set we decide to burn them up. Well after about a min of spinning them they got so sticky the front brakes and with the wheels turned couldnt hold the car still. This is the only tire I will ride with.

Go with the 315/35/18 Toyo Tq drag radial in the rear. They fit perfectly, and are pretty F ing wide.
The height I believe is 26.7".
I love them.
In the front i have 255/45/18, but I want to change them to a 265/40/18 or a 255/40/18. I want a shorter tire.

I'm running the Dunlop SP Sport 9000 and love them! Very good tires on dry and wet, but are now off the car as they don't like cold temps!
They are 275/40-18 up front and 285/50-18 out back with the FRPP K springs.

I was looking at the nt05 and my wheels are 18/8 what's the widest I could put on there?

Rolling thunder, not stealing your thunder.. I am also looking for similar sizes, just showing Black baby the Falkens.

BFG also has the T/A KDW

285/40ZR18 and 275/40ZR18 or 255/45ZR18




295/40 & 255/40, notice the smaller sidewall, I need to replace wheels & tires... have not decided if I will stay 40 or go 45 this time. I like the rake, but sometimes the front well seems a bit empty... thinking with my new CS front bumper I can up the sidewall without loosing the nose down appearance.

What springs do you have?

What springs do you have?

FRPP's the ride height is a little weird due to the tire sizing

255/40/18 is 26.03ish diameter
295/40/18 is 27.29ish diameter

Gives more rake than just the springs.

Full suspension setup is Tokico D-specs, BMR sways front & rear, BMR adj UCA & fixed LCA's with reloc brackets, Steeda adj panhard & brace.

I am still trying to figure out next tire & wheel setup, might go a bit taller in the front, the 255/40's look a bit small in the wheelwell at times, hoping the CS fascia I put on will cut down a bit on the height increase in the front. I really like my 295/40's out back, but that is the only tire available in it, would really like a 305/40 ish, but NOT a drag radial

That stance is perfect.
