Default tires?

soo i am about to order some new wheels
18x7.5x35
and was wonderin if someone could help me pick a good tire.
i saw the Toyo P1R looked like one of the better tires that had the exact fit the tire calculator gave me(215/45/1

could i go up a size or down a size or something? and if so could u give me a good tire to go with thats got it in the right size?

The Toyo T1R is probably what you meant to say, it's a good tire, but not good for snow or cold weather. But you're down in Louisiana (looking up at your name), so it should be fine.. The other tire is the Toyo Proxes4. Sure some will go against it because it's an "all-season" but it's great in wet and dry. Definitely love this tire!

hope that helps ya. We all like the Toyo Proxes4's, but the T1R is good too, just don't expect any cold temperature driving with it.

Obviously your Goodyear F1s, Michelin Pilot Sports, Toyo Proxes, and Yokohama Advans are the best tires. Best bang for your buck though? Falkens and Kuhmo Ecstas. Good choice with the falkens

just put them on my car! NITTO NEO-GEN. Havent heard anything but good, and they are SUPER sticky. Plus go to discount tire and read the reviews, many people say the tread lasts over 40k! I havent been able to break them loose around a turn yet!

I had Pirelli PZero Nero 225/40/18 and really liked it. It's probably not the most sporty, and one of the weirdest looking though.

yeah I looked at the Pzero nero's and they are freaky looking. . . we'll leave them to the ferraris.
