Looking for some advise on tire selection on Gen 3. What tire would you recommend? 325 or 335?

What wheels do you have or plan to get? I have 315/30/18 & 265/35/18 michelins on FFR wheels. The tires fit the wheels well width wise and they are plenty wide. There are not that many tires available in our sizes, it seems most newer cars are now going 20 inch + in the larger sizes and the tire selection reflects this.
If you have 17's many are going with Nitto's.
Also do a search, lots of prior discussions

David is exactly right. 315's are as wide as you can go with the available Factory Five 11-inch wheels. You might be able to get something wider in there with different wheels. But pay close attention to offsets. The inside tire sides are pretty close to the suspension already. The outside has a little more wiggle room. Many of us are using wheel spacers too, which factors in.
NT01's or R888R's are solid options in 17's. Rival S's are also very well respected, but sometimes limited in sizes.

I ve heard the NITTO 555G2 is a good choice. 200 treadwear rating. I have 555R right now. But when mine start wearing out, its the G2 s.
I also heard theyre compatible with 555R on the rear.

Nitto 555G2 is a 320 TW rating, not a 200.
