So there are tons and tons of talk on the forum about rims and tires. I can't read every post so...
My current set up is 17x9 255/45/17 and 17x10.5 285/40/17. I need to replace both my rims and tires. I have usually only ran BFgoodrich Tires on the car. I have the KDWS on the back but I hear they are discontinued in my size. I have had the back tires on for years probably 10 (was parked for 2-3 years). I have Michelins on the from but not super impressed with them. They look way taller then the KDWS that they replaced. Now the front end sits higher then I would like. I am going to be replacing rims on the car at the same time as my cobra R rims are Looking like they might fail. I have some cracking about lug nut holes. Not sure why I don't drive aggressive and slide around corners. With that upgrade Im looking at 18's. i thought about 18 front and 19 back but couldn't see anyone that had that set up so Ill skip that. I am looking to go 295 or 305 in back. I like the big foot print, I don't want to have to modify anything or have rubbing at all.
I have been thinking about the KDW but I heard summer tires have horrible wear as the tread is so much softer. when I lived in washington it wasn't unheard of for me to have to drive in snow a few time. I now live in Northern California so the summer tires might be ok. Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated.
