Need a new set of shoes

I'm looking to purchase a new set of tires for my 360 spider but I came across a bit of a problem. I really like the Michelin tires but I was told that they don't make the fronts anymore - 215/45R18. I was told to get the Bridgestones Potenza RE760 Sport. Has anyone tried these out? If so how do you like them? I'm looking for a nice ride and mileage.

 

You can do a 225/40/18 on the front

I have Michelin PSS with the 225/40 18 fronts mentioned above and love them

 

What do you have in the back?? 275 or 285?
Reason I am asking is because I have ABS problems (too sensitive) and the dealer blamed the different tire size, and I have 285 in the back and 225 in the front, but I do not know which axle us the culprit for the ABS too sensitive.

I currently have OEM - 215/45ZR18 front & 275/40ZR18 rear. No problem with the ABS.

 

I have 275/40 in back and 225/45 in front. That won't disrupt anything only a slight decrease in the amount of understeer. Minor rubbing caused by 285/40 as opposed to 275/40 or 285/35 could be causing the issues. I had a slight tire rub on a Z4M track car and it wreaked havoc on the abs/dsc lights under certain suspension loads.

Is your car lowered at all?

 

i had abs asr and brake coming on while i was on 35's in rear switched to 40's x275 no issues

 

i just bought a set of Bridgestone RE-11s
Rears = 275-40X18 = stock size
Fronts = 225-45X18 = 0.2" taller than stock

The RE-11s seemed to be the best choice for max grip dry weather tyre without going to 888s or NT01s.

 

I'm a big fan of the RE-11. Have them in stock sizes on my 360. Phenomenal grip on dry pavement, reasonably quiet (Speak normally to wife, listen to radio at 90) and a comfortable ride in normal driving.

I am also super impressed with these tires on wet roads. Got caught in a torrential downpour here in the mountains along with threat of hail. Couldn't find a lean-to or open barn so had to outrun the hail. The tires performed superbly in some very hard driving. Have driven in the rain several times since and feel supremely confident in the car's handling in weather.
