Thank you for all your input!

@jchammond How come in your video the slip light is on? Or did you manually turn off the traction control?

@TN.Z Your recommendation of 245/45/18 and 275/40/18 sound good and I'm really leaning towards either the Toyo tires or the Potenza RE760 sport.

The only thing I am wondering is this issue about stagger. The stock tires (225/50/18 and 245/45/18) have a stagger of 0.2" based on the difference in diameter. I read that it is important to maintain a stagger of less than 1" to prevent the slip light from turning on unnecessarily and keeping the Traction Control System (TCS) and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) happy.

Does anyone know if there's any truth in this or if this is even a concern? Also, I'm assuming the TPMS will be left intact?
