Tire options on stock wheels
Sorry for the noob question guys, but I'm in need of a bit of help. I like the Fuzion UHP but they don't come in 225/45/18. From searching it seems I can put on 245/40/18, but I'm not really looking for better performance (I know, sacrilegious). Is there a better option for me, or can I go with a tread narrower than 225?

Don't go narrower than OEM specs. 225/45-18 or 245/40-18 are where you want to be. Are you looking for an all-season tire? I can help you if I know that.
If you don't mind me asking, why did you purchase such a highly capable sports car if you're not looking for increased performance?

I always wanted an rx7, so for my birthday I was given an rx8. I only drive it during the summer, when it's not raining. I'm kind of set on my tires, thank you though. My choice is very thrifty oriented, hopefully without sacrificing too much performance. I like not having to slow down on the on ramps!

I would recommend Riken Raptors, I have had great luck with them and have never run into any issues. They are pretty cheap too.

I HATE SPEEDBUMPS!
The original tires on my rx8 are getting thin, so i am about to look for new tires. I am searching on Tirerack.com and they have customer reviews as well. I'm not sure yet on what to get, but i'm leaning on Sumitomo HTR Z...

Bargain, we can get them here in UK for £112 per tyre in a 225/45/18.... and basically I think they're one of the best tyres out there at the moment!
