Best Rear Tire For BDR 18" Wheels

[lomdel]

Reviving old thread. The standard Backdraft roller from the factory comes with Falken Azenis 275/40ZR18’s at the rear. What tires are you guys putting on these 18” rims these days to gain a wider contact patch. 295, 315 or what? I assume the standard 18” Backdraft rear rims can accommodate a max width of about 315...?

I just ordered a RT4 from Backdraft and on the order sheet they give you an option of the Nitto 555R 335 tire for the rear

I like my Nitto's a lot. Once the tires are warmed up I have excellent traction. Regarding wet traction.... I never have I never will drive my car in the wet
