Are you looking for summer or all-season?

​​​@justnspace mentioned, you literally did not ask anything about size.. Maybe you need rethink your posts before pressing Submit to ensure you have your entire question so people can provide some sort of valuable feedback.

Well, it's an 18x10.5" rim so for starters, you're going to want an 18"

10.5" is pretty wide for an 18" tire. The stock size for 18" TL rims is 235/40/R18. However, you're going to have a tough time finding a tire in that size that recommends mounting on a rim 10.5" wide. So I'd consider something like a 265/35/18.



You could stick with the stock size and stretch them but I think stretched tires look :ghey: That's just my opinion.

So, go on tirerack, put in 265/35/18 in the size fields, click ok and then you can sort tires by your desired type/brand/etc.

however, in a prior post; King Louie mentioned that he wants to slam the shit out of his car and add -5 camber...
Race car tires WONT work. lol

if your goal is to slam and add -5 camber, you'll need to stretch tires to make them fit YOUR goals.

Most 18" tires will fit that rim; what size do you want?

he doesnt own the white one, he was showing a picture of what he disliked...
then he showed a picture of the black one, showing what he liked.

the tire size ALL depends on YOU, and what your goals are.
if YOU want -5 camber, YOU'RE going to have to put on a stretched tire.

Can't comment on the white one.

The black one appears to have some version of the V12 Evo Ventus but not sure.

But hey, go big or go home. Spend $1000 and get some Pilot Sports/Super Sports or Ventus R-S4's

Fer sure. Then again, I'm not sure they're necessary for a 3G TL. Not unless you're super/turbocharged.

Go to TireRack and pick a set.

No wait, better still, sell your TL and buy a slammed Civic, probably a better car for you.

Did you not read what I posted on your other thread about how TL guys are a different breed? I guess you just chose to ignore and kept asking questions...

Sure, the Federals seem fine. I don't really dig the flashy color and flame-tread tires but it looks like the theme you're going for so I'd say go for it. Yeah, the 265/35/18 Or 265/35/18 would be fine. I probably wouldn't put different sized tires on, again, unless you want a bit more flash.

I can't really recommend anything you're looking for since it seems you're concentrating more on looks and less on function. I'm about 90% function 10% form. Which is the reason I have lightweight 17' rims and the lightest tires possible. The XXR's aren't terribly heavy but still more than OEM (about 24lbs according to their website). And the Federals are 25lbs. I have 17lb OZ's and 22lb DWS06's. Rotating mass makes a huge difference in performance and handling. However, I'm a bit of a weird duck like that. You go for what you want. I'd say the combo you have there with the XXR's and Federals would be a good choice.

I don't believe anybody here is trying to run such wheels so we're going to be a very bad source of information for you. Maybe you'd be better off asking over on the 3G TL Facebook group; all manner of whacky and poorly thought out things have been tried over there.
