I don't have sport rims, but am patiently waiting to wear down the Advens so I can put on "Continental Extreme Contact DWS" in 1" wider rubber than stock.

Actually when I bought the car I was planning ahead to do all-seasons, but everyone keeps warning me about the grip. The Contis seem to be a possible solution in that they have a 100mm wider lateral...

How about a separate survey for 18" UHPAS?

Some of us aren't crazy about summer treads with treadwear ratings of 140 or 160.

On the coast, there's a lot more water. That's an issue, enough of one to be maybe a 5% factor in choosing treads. If the locale was north of NYC, the climate again changes enough (snow-wise) I'd...
