Ran up to NTB to price tires. The guy working says "Why the heck does a Cobalt need high speed 18's?" The look on his face when I told him its sitting around 300hp was priceless.

I meant properly done ZFR, the guy who I bought my EFR 6758 from (same turbo as ZFR) was at 450 WHP on it and not sure of the torque but was hitting 27 PSI at 2800 RPM so no boost ramp. He was at 15K miles on it and didn't have any transmission trouble during that time, user was Donkeyballs BTW.

I say either Continental DW's or Nitto NT05's the NT05's are cheaper and better for grip but won't last as long.

I was originally looking into the sport comp 2's but tire rack has them on back order. Not sure how long it takes for them to get them back into stock. I started looking into tires a couple weeks ago and the sport comps caught my eye right away and they were in stock too haha maybe ill call tire rack and see if they know when they will get them into stock. I'd prefer the sport comps over the contis

I have sport comps 2 and they are great. Grip good, wears not too fast, they are really good in all conditions, exempt snow lol.
