Best tire for some grip.
 
So I have the stock premium wheels on my 2011 with 235/50-18's on it. No traction ever. My question is how wide can I go and what do you reccomend?:favorites25:

assuming 18x8? i would say 255s and you still wont hook lol save for wider wheels and tires

So true. Ive heard 265 is possible. Yes I believe they are 18x8. What are some sticky tires? Non drag radial. I drive my car quite a bit just need a gd performnce tire.

Seems like a lot of people like the Michelin Pilot Super Sports, I've never personally had them but Michelin makes a great tire.

255/45/18 is the biggest recommended size. If you don't want michelin, continental DW or a nitto would be your best bet.

Thanks for your input.

Nitto Invo or 555s work pretty good, both real cheap compared to Michelins.

I like the Nitto 555's (ran them on my old TA), they just wear out so damned quickly! I will say this, for a street tire they definitely will give you grip!

Have you considered the Toyo Proxes TQ?

Nt555's where one of the longest lasting tires I've run.
