Need new tires. Want to go wide on stock 18"s.
Well. I have 14k miles on the stock tires so it's time to start thinking about replacements. I want something with a longer tread life and I want to go wider all around for increased handling.
What are some setups that would work for me? I want to go as wide as possible on the stock 18" rims to improve the handling but I don't want any drawbacks.
I've noticed a lot of other people asking similar questions, so lets get some constructive discussion going.

I have never been a fan of changing the stock sizes on tires, but that just me.. if the wheels were made for the 245's then i would stick with them.
I have just always had problems with it.
Also I think the Eagle F1's tend to last longer than the stockers.
I have 9K on mine, nad 4.6 mm in the back, and 6.0 in te front.

I have stock 18" tires front and rear for sale. I took them off to mount winter tires, and now I run G37 wheels/tires in the summer.
They have around 1,800 miles on them and I'm letting them go for cheaper than you'd probably be able to find a lower quality/higher treadlife set of 18" tires.

I forgot... but how wide is the stock 18s? (rims, not tires)
Anyways, someone from G37 put the stock 245 rear ones to front and put the 275 in the rear. I've also seen it in person, and it looked pretty dang good.... handled really well too!

None of those threads answer my question. I need some suggested wide setups that will increase my ride and handling without making too many sacrifices.
Someone must know.
