They said I had a better chance of hitting the lottery.

I'm actually debating between the RE11s, AD08s, or Continental ExtremeContact DWs (for the tread wear and lower price)

I'm thinking 265/40/18 for the AD08s cause tirerack doesn't seem to have them at 275/40/18 and I have a feeling 265 might be a better fit for these Enkeis...Cmike how are the 275s riding? Any concern with tracking/auto-x on those tires? What did you end up getting anyway?

EDIT: Not referring to the DWS btw, "DWs" as in the plural of "DW"

265/40/18 will work ok, the 275/40/18 were just a closer diameter/wall height match. I was actually looking at the AD08's, but they didn't have it in that size, like you said. The RE11's are pretty sweet, but was more than what I wanted to spend.

Ended up just getting the Advan Sports (they were on special for $229) and the ride is more or less the same. I decided to run 245/45/18 up front, so it basically matches the sport package footprint now. I haven't done any auto-x with it, but you do feel a little more grip in the back. Could just be the new rubber tho.

Here's a calculator I found that was really helpfull:

I HAVE ONE used rear stock sports package tire! PM me if interested!

One of the them got punctured and then I bought a new set all around. So if you're interested, I had about 7k on my used one. O'd say about half life left.

Those look good Mike. That calculator is awesome, I definitely see the benefit of going with 275s in the back.

RCZ, thanks dude, I think I'm just gonna run on this patch until I can comfortable afford new wider tires.
