    I got a set of the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus, stock front & 255 rear, with a decent rebate on Tire Rack..

    I like them a lot so far - I'm pretty sure they can out-handle the rest of the car

    That explains why the "old" Motivos were so cheap.

    Just got the rear BFGoodrich Elite-Force T/A 245-55R18 107V tires. These Police Pursuit tires are made in the USA and were introduced in June 2023. The V speed rating is 149 mph. The Load Index 107 (2,149 lbs) exceeds the original KDWS 103 load index (1,929 lbs). The sidewall has "Sworn to Protect" and "Called to Serve" inscribed on the sidewall. They are priced $263 each, but if you shop around you can get one for $200.

    It looks like the stock BFG rear tire is no longer in production. What brand is everyone currently running?
    And I thought I was the last one still running the original KDWS BFGs. I had stocked up before they were discontinued. Anyway, had to buy some new tires mid last year because the last of my BFGs were showing cracks that had me worried. So I got the General Tire ones that were made in USA.

    Interesting. I might have to try these next after the General Tire ones wear out.

    I have the Nitto 555s, 245/45/18 on the front and 265/50/18 on the rears. I need replacement tires now as they are 13yrs old and I want to keep the same sizes on the car. What are my options?

    I prefer to run the original BFGooodrich tires. While the G-Force Comp-2 performance 235/50R18 directional tires are currently available for the front, they are not offered for the larger 245/55R18 rear. However the Elite-Force Police Pursuit tires are available in both front and rear sizes. https://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/auto...eSize=18#sizes

    Nitto never released the NT555 G2 in that 265/50R18 size. Nobody else made that oddball size to date (Tirerack shows zero results).

    I ended up going with widened wheels and 295/45R18's.

    I agree with Ryan, 265/50s are no longer made. so either 245/55s or 255/55s on stock wheels or 295/45s on widened wheels
