Default I need help with Tire Suggestions...

I am planning on buying new wheels for my C5.
18x9.5 fronts, 19x11 rears.

I need suggestions for Tire Sizes AND Tire Brands?

Just looking for ideas that I may have not seen.

I am getting bleery eyed looking at all the tire websites.

Any suggestions and/or help would be appreciated

Thanks alot
Glenn

I have the same size rims you mentioned in the SSR-GT3 wheels. I'm running 265x35x18 fronts & 295x35x19 rears; they're BGF KDW2 G-force, non-runflats. It hasn't seen any track time, but high spirited driving it has seen. Had no problems in braking, handling or clearance (not slammed). A lot better than those runflats (nite & day)! - Store a mini jack, tire repair kit and a mini air compressor with you for your spare (and for added protection - AAA club card). I am very happy with this set-up!
