It's about that time again. The rears are shot.

I have 18x9's up front with 275/35/18 Nitto NT555's. Currently on the back are Falken 315/30/18's that I got an insane deal on and couldn't pass but I wasn't a big fan of the sidewall height. Had 295/35/18 BFG KDW2's before the Falkens and I liked them.

I'm thinking about going back to the 295/35. What are you guys using? Considering the Nitto NT05 as well.

Well I am getting some Nitto 555r's on wednesday but I don't drive the car daily which is why I went with the R compound. I don't need the tire to get a huge life anymore so I would rather it be stickier. I've had great luck with Nitto tires in the past.

I daily drive mine so I'd be hesitant getting a DR but I'm considering the possibility. What size do you use?

I ordered the 305 35 18's

Don't need them to be super wide but I don't want to get 285's at the same time. I never thought they were wide enough on my last setup.

Wow, those tires are more expensive than I thought. Almost looks as if you bought them in Canada (huge mark-up on tires) LOL.
