I just got a set of Saleen 18X9/18X10 wheels for the car. I'm curious what the tire experts at DTD recommend for tire size. This will be a daily driven car so wet traction and tire wear are concerns. Thanks for the help!

Thank you for the post!

I would suggest running 265/35-18's in the front and 295/35-18's in the rear. A great tire to look into is the BFG KDW NT. This tire offers great dry and wet traction. This model was just recently tested by Car and Driver and finished with above-average grip and lap times Since it's an ultra high performance summer tire, the average life is 20K-25K miles.

Here's a link with more details.
