Rival's currently are only available from Tire Rack, but I here that is going to change as of the first of the year. Note: Rival's need a full heat cycle to be effective on the track. Falkens are more expensive and can be purchase online and also at Discount Tire.

Also, Dunlop has some excellent new tires and I like the Bridgestone SO4 tire as well.

I would recommend a 275/35-18 front size as it is a little taller than the 265 tire.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the advice, I'll have to check but I think the only 2 options with matching front and rear where the rivals and 615k. Maybe I skipped over the others because of higher price. The rivals are cheaper than the falkens but I am mainly after decent wear. AutoX is on the back burner, strong driver is my number 1 goal at this point.

I'm going to agree with Travis, I would run the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 in your case as street being the primary use. The Rival and Falken can be sketchy in the rain.

Back to looking at tires again, tire rack is out of rivals, I looked at the PS2's but they run almost 2k.

Michelin typically has an edge on wear, street/highway performance, ride, range of sizes, and availability from my observations. Their on and off-road motorcycle tires are quite good too, as much as I don't want to support them their products deliver.

Work up a few cost per mile scenarios and see what you get. I'm guessing the Michelin's win the overall value category.

A few reasons why I deleted it I didn't want to look petty whining over a few hundred dollars, second the 315s are back ordered anyways and lastly, as you said. If they last twice as long essentially they become cheaper. May I ask why you choose not to support them?
