18x10 and 18x8

Hey,
I have had these sitting in boxes long enough. What rubber should I rap around them?
275/35/18 and 235/35/18???

These need to be good dry and wet performance. Tirerack, les, and discount are fine.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if discount will match tirerack?

GF g-force T/A KDW 275/35/18
GF g-force T/A KDW 235/35/18

With Road hazard and shipping from tirerack $922

From discount with road hazard and mounting/balancing $1039

I have friends at les who can mount/balance them. But would discount match tirerack?

You are better off with 235/40 up front, to go with the 275/35 rears. 235/35 is too short.

The KDW is an old tire, the KDW2 is the current version. Honestly though, most full-out performance tires handle just fine in the rain...

I believe discount tire direct offers free shipping, and tirerack does not.. this is why DDD prices are usually a bit higher.

The KDW2 is the tire, I apologize, just a typo.
