I remember looking a while back and I don't remember if it was 245/40 or 225/40. Hmm.... Do any of you guys know?

Also, for those of you that have gotten tires recently, what do you recommend? I'm thinking of the Nitto NT555, Yokohoma AVS dB, Dunlop Sport8000, or the Dunlop Sport9000(what I have right now

).

the OE tire size for an 18' rim is 245/40. I would say go with the AVS DB , i am getting these tires within a week and i have done alot of research about them. These Tires should be the best Ultra high performance all season tires. I have read reviews that say they are amazingly quiet , comfortable , Grip very well , and have good wet traction.

I thought it was 245/40... thanks

I didn't list the Kuhmo's b/c they're sold out at the link I listed.

Hey Vin,

Where did you end up buying your Yoks?

VIN_DIESEL

I haven't bought them yet but i am gonna buy them from tirerack.com. They come out to be $150.75 a tire shipped which is really cheap compared to what local places want for them (180-210).

Thanks Vin. I'm going to buy them tomorrow. Do you know how long it takes them to ship? I need them ASAP cause I already have a rim in the shop getting repaired so I might as well get them to mount a new tire on it.

P.S. I checked tirerack.com and it's listed at 168/tire. Do you have a coupon or something?

Love the tread on the Yoks.

Another tire that's awesome is the Bridgestone re730s. Check it out.

your getting 18's Right? 18's are $168 , i am getting 17's which are $144. I think it will take about 2-3 days to get to you.
