Thought Nitto at first, but tire rack won't carry that brand. What did you get?

I noticed a tire rack box, I wonder why you did not have the wheels and tires shipped assembled. Because if someone dropped a stack of tires at my house, I would need a new set of skills, unless I needed four brand new white trash plant containers for the yard.

Interested in your thoughts once the work is completed.

Good choice in tire sizes.
Those will fill out your wheel wells nicely.

I'm running those exact sizes but in Goodyear F1 Eagles. Those sizes work great in fit and look on my stock 18's. Be sure to post some pics when you get them mounted.

Good choice.

I have the same tires, but in different sizes for my C4.

I don't have many miles on them yet, but so far I really like them.

Do the Conti's have rim protectors molded into the sidewalls?
