Are you running 225/45-18 or a different size?

What brand are you using and can you give some impressions on it?

Pirelli P-Zero Nero 225/40-18.

Rides and handles excellent. Needs to be wider to protect the rim from the curb.

I have 225/40-18's

I have Fuzion ZRi tires which have a great curb rash protection bead. They are mounted to gunmetal MazdaSpeed3 18's.

ride w/18's

aimwo4, how's the ride with the 18's compared to the stocks? I've heard the Fuzion tires are made with a harder compound and ride a bit rough.

Nice, the wheel look very nice.
Any tire rubbing issue?
I am thinking to go with the same size as you do , but just a bit worry about rubbing.

No rubbing...

And, yes, the ride is a bit rougher. These tires have a treadwear of 320 (hard). I'm going for miles, not ride. They are sticky though.(boom04)
