Tired for 18x7.5?
Thursday, June 09, 2005 5:22 AM
What would be the ideal tire size for these rims?

Also, what kind of tire should I buy? It's my daily driver, RWD, I don't race, or BS. But I want the tires to last as long as possible.

Thanks for any and all help fella's.

I work at a tire shop and the tire i see lasting the longest(if maintained like rotated every 5k) is a BF Goodrich KDW's if u want an awesome tire. My freind has a 1998 mustang putting 450+ hp to the wheels and he has the BFG KDW's on and he has had them for the last 3 months and still has full tread and performs like the #1 performing tire on the market should. I would prolly run a 255/35/Z18 or as close to it as u can.

Hey, much appreciated.. I'm off to work right now, so I can't check.. How much would that tire, at that size, run?

Once again, very much appreciated.

What kind of car are you putting them on? We need to know that to determine the proper size.

I have to get a new BF Goodrich G-Force KDWS tire for my GTO, and the size on that is 245/45/ZR17.... and that is going to run me around $150 at Discount Tire.

So you're probably looking at a little more than that.

yah for a 18 its about 180-200+ each but you could look at the KDW Sports which are cheaper and are compareable in performance and still look cool. LATER
