I see the Nankang NS-II's being stretched like crazy. That's another cheap option. Looks like a better pattern for wet-handling.

They are my first choice for an 18x9 setup in 225/40/18.

I will need some tires for the temp setup that currently have 235/40/18's on them.

They are a set of OZ Racing wheels, no idea which ones they are though, I need to take a pic.

Re: *Pic Heavy* New wheel set-up ideas

I don't put much stock in treadwear ratings personally. I've had several sets of tires, some with low ratings (summer tires or other ultra performance) that wore pretty slow. Just depends on driving style, how much driving you do, and what conditions you do it in. Guess it's good as a general guide though.

I've always spent a good deal on tires, since they last me awhile. But for my next set I'd like to try to spend less. I'm a sucker for cool tread patterns though, lol.

Falkens always have some cool patterns, but I was personally impressed with the way the Spec 2's looked.

:drool: Imagine that in a fatty wide tire on a concave wheel.

Favorite/best performing tires I've owned to date were Toyo T1R's. Those things were amazing in every condition, except snow obviously. lol And they were 215/50's!

But the tread pattern was soo cool. Those Falkens might even be cooler though.

But I swore to myself I'd never buy another set of summer tires again, haha.

Why don't you get EVO X MR wheels? Or even G35 18" oems? Better yet my oem wheels? Cobra Wheels.

I've settled on the 8thGen coupe wheels. BUT I did really want Cobra 18"s a while back
