any good tire for 18" wheels

I got a 2003 C32 and running 255/35/18 in rear with P-zero but my car spin very easily in start or rain. so just want to get any recommendation on it with my AMG 18" wheel.

One suggestion from my friend is 275/30/18 in Goodyear.
Are there anyone have tried this combination?
Any people here using tire biger than 275 on C32? any problem?



Thanks

any summer tires will spin in rain =_= or just going full throttle off the line.

and the 275 idea is just dumb. They will rub without a doubt unless you got some crazy az widebody work.

but i found many people here are using 265/30/19
will 1 cm wider or just 0.5 cm closer to both sides made such a big different? i.e. rub the car

Any people here using the tires bigger than 265?

a lot of people with 265s are already rubbing depending on the offset.

you are free to try it, but it's not recommanded. don't say no one warned you.
