Default New Wheels to me Inbound. Questions

So I just picked up a set of original hollow spoke turbo wheels. I've been using 19" ADV.1 wheels and had one out of round and had it fixed but I still feel a bit of a wobble.

I've been wanting to go back to 18" wheels for comfort and I love the turbo twist look and found a good deal on the hollow spoke turbo twists.

My main question is what size and brand of tires to run on the stock wheels?

Do I get Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2
Michelin Pilot Sport 2
or something else.

really depends on your driving style and use case. For a cruiser/commuter, the Cup 2s are too aggressive and you won't be happy with longevity.

Can't go wrong with Michelins though....rumor has it that the Super Sports will be available in 295/30/18 next year. You might want to research that, they're good tires.

I'm thinking of getting the PS2's in stock sizes. Is there a reason to change from stock sizes on stock wheels?

I don't think so....you literally are making the best choice (money aside) in going with a proven tire. PS2s in stock sizes will never dissappoint on the street.

I will second the King's advice. I personally love the performance of the cups...though they can be slippery in varying conditions and when they are cold. PS2's are probably a good bet for all around driving.
