First thing you need to ask your self when looking for tires is, Do you want good handeling, or do you want a long tread life? Tire manufacturers use a tire comparassion called UTQG which is deemed by them for rubber hardness. Higher the #, the harder the rubber is and longer the tread life. Lower the # the softer the rubber which makes for real sticky good handeling tires, but you'll eat them right up. ALOT of these tires you see from Toyo, Nankang, Kuhmo are all in the 200 range of that chart out of 600. This is also why alot of low profile tires have no tread wear warrenty's and are usually killed within 15K-20K miles. When i got my 18"s, i looked for the best deal I could find and found a set thats right smack in the middle on the higher side. 380 UTQG. Rubber isn't cheap... You just gotta know what you want out of your tires.
