18" summer RFTs recommendation needed

Hi,

I'll probably have to change tires this year. Currently on Continental Sport Compact 3 something - 18" 245/45 front, 275/40 back. I know they are not the best in terms of wear and mileage. Also had some vibration issues at the beginning, but I must otherwise say that I've never really lost traction on these for 3+ years now.

Anyway, apart from the continentals (which are still available) any other good RFT options to look at (apart from Bridgestone which I'm boycotting ;-)?

Cheers

I found Pirelli Cinturato P7 and Dunlop SP SPORT MAXX GT in those sizes as RFT.

Don't know, I've only tried the Michelin Primacy in 19", and they're good.
