Either later this year or next year Im going to be replacing the tires on my Q45...

Im running 245-45-18 F and 275-40-18 R. I'd like to continue on that setup, it works well and its a nice setup.. I might consider a little different staggered setup, but at least nothing more narrow..

My requirements...

Must be a summer performance tire (I have winter tires for snowy times)Excellent dry grippretty good wet gripdont care about tire wear, if i get 10-15k miles thats fine.must handle my fat-arse car on the tracknot outrageously priced, but im here to partyquiet would be nice, but i dont really care

Falken RT-615's if you can drop one profile size 45 to 40 and 40 to 35. Or even drop one profile size and go up one width size...which will then give a fairly similar sidewall height and be a tad wider.

Bridgestone RE-11's come in your size

RE-11 is supposed to cure the wet grip woes of the RE-01 while still retaining the arguably class leading dry grip...price wise theyre a little steep, up to you

dont know how Nitto NT-05's are in rain, have to look back and see if maybe a magazine reviewed them, but they're going to equal the dry grip at a far lower cost than the b-stones
