@Who.Am.Eye.2716 recommended the Continental DWS06s.
Went with 245/45r18 up front, and 275/40r18 in the rear.on my Sport. I would NOT go wider than 275 on the stock sport rim. The tire will DEFINITELY find the curb first. (Plus, 9" was the smallest recommended rim width for a 275 on TR.
Big +1 to Hudson Tire Exchange in Hackensack: https://www.hudsontireexchange.com/
They had the tires cheaper than TireRack. They went and picked them up in 30 minutes. They had the old tires stripped off, and waiting to receive the new ones. They also have an overnight wheel-servicing service. They clean, strip, and repowdercoat wheels for $159 each. Any color. I thought about it due to my severe curb rash on my one rim. Maybe some other time.
Why the DWS06 all-season instead of the Continental ExtremeContact Sport2? NJ winters. I might have to sometime move my car from my GF's garage to mine. Don't want to ruin the tires. Additionally, the TR reviews have the two tires very comparable. I'll take more rain traction.
With the car lifted, and the back tires on, the 275s stick out! I was like, "CRAP! Good thing I don't have spacers! But, down on the ground, everything is good. (Might run a 10 mm spacer on the front to even things out.)
