What tire brand and sizes do you guys have or recommend on 18 inch wheels (18x10 & 18x12)?

275/285 front and 325/335 rear maybe?

I need tires that can handle wet and rainy conditions as well as gripping good when abused. (470 HP and 4,10 gears).

All suggestions are welcomed [emoji4]14727

Ah, okay - thought these were 18 inch wheels. Those A-Molds are great, 18 inch versions would be nice!

Overall opinions on this forum are
Michelin Pilot Sport 2 is the best performance dry and wet but at greatest price.
NITTO NT555 G2 has great rain performance and good dry performance at the best bang for the buck price.

18x10 & 18x12 is exact the sizes I have on my Z. There are 2 tyre options in Europe: Pirelli or Michelin. I choosed the Michelins with 275/35/18 at the front and 315/30/18 at the rear...both with speed index Y.

Thomas is right, also I can confirm that Michelin makes AMAZING tires. I will mount a set of 275/17 & 335/17 to my Z. I've been running 255/20 on my Audi Allroad 3.0 TDI and 245/17 on my 95 Audi S6 4.2 for years. These are great performance tires, loads of grip, silent running, good fuel economy. Highly recommendable performance stuff featuring also all you want and need in daily driving. Michelin is not a bargain, but long lasting and (important for rarely driven collectors cars) slowly aging.
