Tire fitment & suggestions on lowered E92

tcw · 02-21-2013, 09:34 PM

Car:
E92 Pre-LCI
H&R Touring Cup Kit

Rims:
Forgestar F14 18"
9 ET38 Front
10 ET38 Rear

I am looking to get some sticky tires for the street and a little autocross (I have hoosiers for drag strip.) I also don't want to have to replace them every 5000 miles. I don't have my fenders rolled, but would be willing to is necessary.

Tires I am considering:
Michelin PSS 265/35/18 R & 235/40/18 F
Nitto NT05 275/35/18 R & 245/40/18 F
Other suggestions?

Thanks!

Well Tireracks $70 rebate special on Michelin tires runs up tomorrow, so I think I will go with those if I don't get any input.
