Hi all,

It's come down to tire selection. Two contenders, they both come in around $150 each. They are both rated very well for performance. I own a set of BFG Comp 2s which I have used for the last year in 225/55/17. They are very nice and I am satisfied.

So the question is

Sumitomo HTR Z III Max Summer
or
BF Goodrich Comp 2 Ultra Summer

The tire size is 255 45 18. Wheels are 18x9 +35.

Lots of reasons for the smaller size rims, but light rims are really important to me, as it affects handling feel and acceleration response. I made my wheel selection, and although it's a little different, I have my reasons and once again a light wheel is paramount. If money no object i would have a Rays 57XX in 18x9.5 all around. But I am on a limited budget and a cheap old bastard

So Konig Oversteer in 18x9 +35 is my choice, and I hope they weigh in at 20-21 lbs. Not sure yet as they are due here at the end of the week. But they are MAT formed and I have reports of these wheels coming in at under 21lbs.

Thanks to MyG37 The OFFICIAL "I have a wheel offset / tire fitment question!" thread for helping me with the fitment decisions.

If you've been happy w/ the BFGs they should be even better in the wider footprint.
Might give these a look too~

The BFG is a great option as a dd tire that will hold up, ride well and take beating when asked. Sumi's are okay for a more cost effective option, but the better tire hands down are those Comp-2's.

Yep, decided today, I will buy the Comp-2s and will ask for you Neal.

Thanks Newt and all the others for the great info on tire fitment and the square fitment thread.

Thanks Neal for your help today getting new tires squared away for the Acura MDX. I went with the Conti's...should be great.

Thanks again,
