Trouble finding a sticky 235/35R18

[JVDSKYRINE]

Hey guys I was looking for a grippy tire up front in a 235/35R/18 I have talked to lots of the local tire shops( they suck in canada and have half the tire selection you guys have sizes included) The only thing I could find was a BF goodrich GTA or something and it has a 300 tread wear so I am guessing its not to soft/grippy. Everything else was all 40 series.

Thanks in advance for the help I went on a couple tire websites but they piss me off and it would be nice to get some input from real people on their own experience.

That's a weird friggen size lol.

Why not just go with 225 40 or something? Is 235 40 too tall for you?

Sorry for not answering your question, but have you looked at tires like dunlop direzza *spec? Heard great things about that tire. Or advan ad07?

Are you looking for front or rears?

haha koguchi on his gf's car uses like 275 35 18 on a 10 inch wheel

weird tire sizes

It's a front tire. I run 215/35/18 Federals.

I think these are going on 18 x 10's. 40 series is too tall IMO.

Fuck broseph I had feddies up front last year and they don't grip well enough. I will probably run them in the rear still but I want something better up front. If someone has input on the feddie RSR I would appreciate it though because again they don't have them in Canada and wouldn't mind some input.

And the wheels are a 18x10 I want a 35 series. I know its a weird size but I think its the perfect size for what I need if worse comes to worse I will run a 225 but even still not many companies make those in 35 series. I don't want 40 series.

I'd just run a 225/40~45

I don't even know when I have seen a 235/35. Maybe on a donk.

But that's all I can think of.

Silly canadians. haha

45 series? Speaking of donks.... HAhahah.

What about 245/35 up front Jared??? Too wide?

[fliprayzin240sx]

Just run 235/40 and be done with it. I was running a set of RT615s all around on 18x9.5 +12s.

If you need sticky tires, WTF would you wanna go narrower? Thats almost a fucking oxymoron right there. Would it really kill you to run just a tad bit bigger tires? You just have a lot better options for grippier tires.

OP i know exactly what you're talking about. I'm looking into this as well. 235/40 sucks..... god damn balloon tire. I have them on my 18x10's and it's too tall for the front. I couldn't find any 235/35 so i ended up running 225/40 and its A LITTLE shorter but not much at all...

All i found in that size though were bf goodrich kdw, which im not too impressed with.

Yokohama s-drives come in 245/35 if that isn't too big as well.
Good luck
