Question Great summer tire setup for $600?

I just recently bought a set of CE28's

Fronts are 18x9.5 +28
Rears are 18x9 +35

pI'm not too familiar with what's good out there in terms of tires. I know the basics but nothing as far as pricing/performance. I was hoping a few of you guys could chime in and give me a good tire thats not going to be too much and will be great for summer use with the occasional track day.

Want to run a 255/35 because anything bigger will rub.

Thanks!

From experience with my buds 05 the 18X9s w/ 255s will rub in the back unless you roll the fenders and/or have coilovers you can adjust. Some people have gotten away with it but in our case it rubbed.

Looked into the Pirelli's and they do in fact make that tire in 255/35/18. They look to be around 175 each as well which isn't bad only problem is that its classified as an all season tire and i'm shooting for a summer/track tire. Great ratings though. Thanks.

More input and experience is welcome.

There has been a lot of discussion on different tires so you can search for more info. But if you can get azenis rt-615s in the size you need, they'll serve your needs.

I hear the azebus rt-615's are nice but from personal experience I am a fan of Toyo T1-R's if you can get them in the required size.
