I've decided to stick with my 18"s for now as I just really love my stock powder coated 124's.

I am going to get rid of the RFTs and buy some Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s.

Question is, Do I just stick with the OEM size tires of:

245/40-18
275/35-18

Or?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance...
