255/35 18" for the stock rear tires, although as discussed in multiple threads many people recommend up to 275 or even 285 for the rear. OEM is Pirelli P Zero, but you can pick whatever brand you want - maybe you need a higher tread wear rating next set?

235/40 18" stock fronts I think - again, you can go up in width also.

...
yep, just walked outside and checked - 235/40 18" Pirelli P Zero stock front tires

Just curious - how many miles on the odometer?

I burned mine up in 2800 miles.

I think I read someone on this forum had to replace at 2600.

I'm curious as to how you drew the cops' attention in the first place. If you're just driving around at normal speeds, minding your own business, the cops seldom pay attention to you.

Were you doing something naughty, Jeffy?

They were there because people have been complaining we are driving too fast at the back street of my school

" we as in every student " and i went into a turn going about 40 and they said that was uncareful driving or something like that 400$ ticket

and then this cop was being a dick , my N sign was sideways... and i got a 109 ticket as well ... my N sign was sideways because 1 hook came off

it was really weird tho.. scared me

He Pulled his gun and went STOP TURN OFF YOUR CAR

so i did....

and he screamed PUT YOUR KEYS ON TOP OF YOUR VEHICLE... i was like OH CRAP I CANT FIND IT!!! OMG WHERE IS IT because i cant get it out of my pocket... he didnt know you can press a button to turn on the car..

and yeah...
