18" te37s in a month or so. What summer tires should I get?

[ih8vtec13]

I love my Kumho MX on my 18X8.5 SSR wheels. The weight of the wheel and tire should be factored in, if its more then stock it will slow you down a bit. What is the weight of the wheels you arer getting?

Didn't you read? He said TE37...aka light, forged, EXPENSIVE. :lol:

What kind of driving are you doing and what kind of comprimises do you have to make for terrain/weather?

Drift Monkey I have not driven with the te37s as yet. I do not auto cross nor rally. My car is basically a daily driver ~10km to work then back home! What a waste eh? I just enjoy having an LGT that I can gently mod and take for an occasional weekend drive. I have 16" compomotives with Toyo Garrit HTs (used to be on my WRX) for the winter months. :)

[ih8vtec13]

The 16's will be a problem on the LGT, breaks are too big.

The Compomotives fit over WRX JDM 4-pots. They have been on the LGT for the last 5 months without any problems!

let me just shut up and crawl back in my hole :lol:

Well how sticky do you want and is rain a big issue to you?

[rhe]

I want a firm enough side wall to assist in cornering without being overly harsh. Stickness is not the #1 priority and rain is not a big issue.

[Drift Monkey]

Falken Azenis RT-615/Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 are probably your best bet. Stickiest street tires with the stiffest sidewalls...though I'm really intrested in the new Bridgestone Potenza RE-01Rs which seem really good according to tests so far...

I'm siprised the 16" winter tires fit. I have always been told otherwise. How do you like the Supertones? For tires, I am partial to Eagle F1's. but they are pricey. I dont have much experience with high performance summer tires. We need to get Keefe over here.

Just say NO to Queefe.

The Supertones are much louder than the oem horns. They are mounted behind the grill and provide a touch of red to liven up the front! :)

Goodyear GS-D3

My #1 choice.

[Drift Monkey]

GS-D3s are good in the wet. The sidewall is too soft though, but I guess that makes for a more comfortable ride. They chunk real easily if you ever plan on autoxing though, not much of max dry grip tire.
