Need tire help..

Hi guys i have a 2014 evo x gsr.

I ordered Advan GT wheels 18 x 9.5 + 22. http://www.ravspec.com/wp-content/up.../advangt-6.jpg

Suspension is stock right now. But will be Ohlins road and track soon...

What tire should i get?

I was thinking 265 35 18... i hope these would fit..

What tires do you suggest? So far i was suggested Hankook RS3... anyone have experience with this tire?

Also a guy i know is selling 2 of these tires, brand new. For $500.00... Is this a good deal? Anyone have experience with these 265/35/18 Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 R(Extreme Performance Summer)....

265's will be fine, but it all depends on how low you go on the ohlins. You will need to roll rear
fenders. As far as tire choices go. I really don't have much experience with different brands the
only ones I've had were yoks can't remember which brand and most recently goodyear F1
asymmetric, road noise not bad, good tread wear and stuck to the road good.

Many use those, but its common for a fender roll and/or alignment tweak to make clear properly. That Hankook does really well in the dry and can take a beating also.

AD08R's are faster but quicker wearing than the R-S3's.

R-S3's are junk in the rain when the tread gets low.

Local tire shops should be able to get the rs3. As far as size 265/35 is perfect and you cannot go wrong with the rs3
