Who makes a Sticky 255/35/18

ok, so my car is lowered on ohlins coilovers. Not slammed, but lowered.

I am currently running toyo T1S's 245/35/18 on works emotions 18x8.5's.

It's time for new tires.

I wanted falken RT-615's but they only come in a 255/40/18.......

Anyone have any advice on what company makes a comparable tire to the falkens at a comparable price?

Being that this isn't a DD i'd even go more aggressive such as RA-1's or Advan 048's.

anyone have any suggestions on who makes a great tire in a 255/35/18? or should i just stop being a bit_h and get the falkens in the 255/40/18.........

Here is a pic of the car in it's current stance.



Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

It's not a DD but do you track it often, autox, drag?

The Bridgestone RE-01Rs are heavy compared to other 255/35/18 tires...

The Falken FK452s have gotten good reviews and they are about $100 less, have a better treadwear and better wet traction...
