Recommendation for 18" tires for P3D

[timcorpz]

I'm going to get some 18" rims to improve the ride. Looking for recommendations for what summer tire to pair with. In order of most importance:

1.Longevity
2.Straight line grip
3.comfort/low noise

don't have any tracks or snow, so don't need amazing turning performance like the stock 4S and don't need all season. Thanks for any suggestions!!

P3D with performance upgrade, or without? Matters for picking 18" wheels that will fit.

As for tires, I've got a set of Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 on my daily, and they're decently grippy, have a 340 wear rating, and are no where near as loud as my RE71R..

I read somewhere that the P3D can't use 18" wheels because the larger brake calipers won't fit. I'd love to be wrong, though... please share what you find out.

Only true for the P3D+. There are 18" wheels that fit, but you have to be careful with your selection.
