I can't for the life of me find a great answer for a street tire to fit on 18 inch wheels. All the best tires are now only for bigger wheels. I'm really not too keen on running R888Rs on the street.
Maybe a Falken or Yokohama? I've just never had any experience with either brand. Fronts are easy to find, but I need a 315/30/18 or 315/35/18.

Possibly you don't need a 315 to achieve the width you are going after. I was shocked at how close my 964 Turbo new PS4S 285/30R18 was, when held up (end to end) against the 305/30R19 Cup2 width on my GT3.
Due to the tremendous amount of section & tread width Michelin is building into these PS4S tires,... you may get what you are looking for in the PS4S 295/30R18.
Check out the spec differences between whatever 315 tire you were considering, against that tire. It may be close to what you are looking for.

I’ve been using the PSC2 for years and don’t change them out for seasons… but I can’t get out of the driveway when it snows, i hydro plane when it rains and tend to spin a bit when it’s below 40. I’m not one of those guys that’s comfortable with speed after a rain or snow… I feel way more comfortable drifting my pickup than I do my car.
I don’t find my GT3 particularly practical so I feel the same way about it’s tires lol, I think if you want to run 4s you should buy a Targa 4s throw some ski racks on it

My 14 year old son has now started the trek. He's got the 5 to 50's in the workout room now. I'm sure he'll be coming out to the garage to move the big guys in there soon enough. Just hope he doesn't hit the car while doing it. I dismantled the garage gym years ago when the car's started piling up. Gotta figure something out soon. Upside, I'm back using the equipment with him.

You can delete all those pictures above. None of them are needed. I only need pics of a set of PS4S 305/30's on 12" rims.
Thnx

You can delete those pics too, since we don't know what actual tire they are

Oh. Got it now. .... after re-reading, & re-perusing the above,... I am guessing that Ivanko is RAudi's son, and you are refering to the fact that HE has won this battle on moving his weights from the basement to the garage. Got it. I was so focused on the tire details, I missed the joke about a 14 yr old & his hormones.

I may have found the PS4S pics I am looking for....

tough to see his sizes, but it looks like 305/30 on his rear

My approach is that I am getting less than 8k miles out of the Cup2's, with tread depth on those at 7.2/32" and with a wear rating of 180 AA A.
... whereas the PS4S has a tread depth of 9.5/32", and a wear rating of 300. And a better temperature range for my location & the seasons I drive in.
Just seems the PS4S is better suited for my street driving, cost less, won't take as much hard driving to keep them up-to-temp, and will give me a lot more miles over the life of the tires,... plus I don't need to worry as much about using the car when it's about 40 degrees outside.
but thanks for the chirp (i think)

Over 8k miles on my .2 GT3 on PS4S in stock sizes this year.
Fantastic tire for all around use and no chance of me exceeding their limit on the street or canyons etc. Amazing wet grip.
Put 10k miles on my GT4 with PS4S. That thing saw light snow too on a few road trips and they were also great.
Running Cup2s on some previous cars of mine always felt like a waste without track time.
Not sure if it matters to you, but the C2 as a nicer looking sidewall by comparison. But tire aesthetics are personal preference.
