Go to 315s and run Michellin PS2s

Buy 19s for the rear and future proof your build.

I don't think I am going to go with 19's right away at least I just wont have the $$ to do so.. Thank you for the advice it's been really valuable. I looked at https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc...0r18-315-30r18
Comparing the tire size. Do you happen to have ay real life experience with the tire difference..>? is it negligible?

If you truly want to do some track time then Pilot Sports. You could go cheap but the more expensive tires tend to give you more miles anyway.

Very good street tire but less money: Continental Extreme Contact Sport

Dirt Cheap: Firestone Indy 500

Sticky and Fast: Bridgestone RE71r or BFG RivalS

***Add Yokohama A052, great in cooler weather and or wet for autocross. Does really well on seal coated lots when the BFG is very bad.

***Add Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar 3 Great track day tire, doesn't fall off after a couple of laps, sucks for autox when cold, sucks in the rain



All other replies to this thread are wrong.

just about to pull the trigger on a set of Continental Extreme Contact Sport

Unless anyone has any negative feedback..

Going to run race tires on other rims I decided so looking for a good all around street tire.

also These are the same price as the Rival 1.5. do either of these have any figment advantage I may need some room on full lock turn

I have been running the Continental tire for
several years on the front of my car due to limitations
in sizes that fit... Do some mountain carving with no issues
I do run Dot road race tires for tracking and also on the road
