225/40ZR18 KUMHO Ecsta MX on 18x8 rota tarmac 3s (225 width cause the kumhos run a little wide, they fit perfect). this is by far the best tire ive driven on. far better than my g-force sports although they were a good tire. i cant say much for wear cause its a new set, although i have heard they are pretty decent for a summer tire. i moved back to michigan for those who dont know and there are some amazing back road twisties around where i live. great elevation changes with every type of turn you can imagine including downhill blind off-cambers with tightening apexes. anyway you will have to take my word for it but they are just awesome and have more grip than i can ask for in the tight turns without reaching speeds that threaten jailtime 
they are also very very good in the rain for a summer tire. i drove through rain in them awhile back that was so severe i litterally couldnt see and the water from the tires was comming up above the window line of the doors (and not just in the puddles). i didnt hydroplane once and actually was able to still have some fun on the turns. they are also very easy on the wallet for a performance tire of that caliber.

I am amazed for a "french" car to be pretty reliable... I bought it used, with less than 35000 miles and the car is almost 8 years old.
So far no problem at all, have done couple of slalom/rally with it and it is very fun to drive with some semi-slick Yokohama A048.
sorry don't have much pics of the car, but here are some taken with my phone:

Summer - Auto X - Daily = 245 40 17 BFG G Force Sports...I don't like them...they give up too easily. Going to switch to Dunlop Star Specs hopefully wider at 255 or 265 width.
Winter = 225 50 16 Toyo Proxes 4...they're not bad.
This is all on a wagon with rolled fenders dropped on JDM pinks/KYB AGX/Group N Hats...performance alignment coming soon.
