Can you provide some insight as to buying based on treadwear class + why you went 245/40 instead of what a lot of people use for street use (255/35 or 265/35)? I know a lot of folks debate the benefits of using a 265 vs 245 due to the impact the larger tire has on grip, weight, etc. Some say it's not worth the extra 20mm at stock/lower power numbers. I'm in the market right now after demolishing my Michelin PSS's over the last two years

Agreed! something about the 18x9.5 spec is really nice too, the spokes are concave and there is a nice little dish too. I used to have a set on my GC but the 17x8 ones didn’t look nearly as good

should throw some firestone indy 500s on there for daily. they arent bad on track either and WAY cheaper. edit: also, those arent just unsprung but ROTATIONAL reduction. the equivalent is even higher and these will make a huge difference, i went with a smaller 17x8.5 +40, 245/45 for mine, they are even lighter and clear 4 pot brembo upgrades which was my main concern. you need concave rpf1s to clear those.
