Here's a picture (chop) with them on redfire. Now I just need to get my Roush louvres prepped and painted.
Ordered the Steeda undrive pulleys as well, should add a few horses.
Just need them to get here.

Why not? They aren't bad at all. I think everyone just gives them a bad wrap because they are OEM on the car. Put a bigger Pirelli on a 18 or 19 and you should get much better traction. I am leaning to Falken tires for mine though. It's a toss up right now.

The Pirelli's really aren't that bad. The have really good traction for OEM. Taking some curves fast though, I do notice them trying to roll off because of the tall rounder sidewalls. Me personally, I just don't care for the looks of their profile. They look like large regular passenger tires, not wider, flatter, performance style tires. That is one of the only things that has bugged me about this car. I had always planned from before I even ordered, that would be one of the first things I changed. But I'm not going that far off, I have a set of 255/50/17 Fuzion Zri's sitting at the tire shop waiting for my new rims to show up, hopefully by friday.

Any suggestions with a different tire would be welcome.

18x9 in the front and 18X10 in the back. Thinking of going Pirelli PZero's 285/40's in the back and 245/45's in the front. Tell me what ya think.

The BFG KDW-2's are a great tire, but VERY noisy. I probably wouldn't buy them again.

It's not bad unless you're on a REALLY smooth road. Most of the roads around my house are in very good condition and one of them has recently been repaved so it's very noticable on that one.
On any normal road, it's not so bad. Haven't tried it on the interstate, but I'm curious how it would do.

There is a noticable difference from the stock tires. How much of that is because of the extra width? I don't know. The most improvement has come in stopping power. I am very impressed with aspect of the tires.

I think you'll want to go with 255/45/18 in the front as to not throw off your speedo. That will keep the over all diameter the same as stock.

Doesn't matter tire rack said the 245/45 was an unsafe load rating. Had to go with the 255/45's anyway.
Oh and I went with the BF Goodrich.
