235/40-18. Goodyear Eagle GT's. Knew I was gonna be doing a shitload of highway miles this year, so I picked up those All-Seasons. Haven't actually had any straight line traction problems with them. Taking corners is where I have noticed them to be lacking.

If you've got the money, the Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 are amazing, but are probably more tire than you'll actually need unless you do some hardcore Auto-Xing.

My next tire will be the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec's. Amazing tire.

No straight line traction issues with a 400 treadwear rating? Thats astounding, I have straightline issues with my 225/40/18 Nitto NeoGens with a tread rating of 280, cornering on them is amazing though, just with pedders the car has oversteer just a tad.

Just looked at those Direzza tires, probably going to try out a pair of those next in a 235/40.

Yeah, I've very surprised that they don't spin every time that I punch it, but my torque doesn't really hit until 4k... your torque hits hard at like 2k. Haha

And I'll probably be trying the Dunlops out as well. RE-11's are too expensive in our size.

EDIT: The lol icon is cheesy and gay... needs changed to

I used a water based warming lube to slip mine on. Makes it a whole lot easier if you just measure the top and bottom coils with a caliper. Smaller one goes on the top.

Smack it on the ground a few times whala

They are designed like that on purpose...

Install is NOT hard.

Be smarter than the springs.

I didn't trim anything.
