well it really depends on where you live, what kind of weather you get and how much money you have.

With 18's there really isn't much to do about an all season, so get a nice summer tire. I would recommend a 225/40/18 for better grip and a little longer life. I have the Nitto NT555, a great tire. Or I'd also go with the popular Kumho's or the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 has a sick pattern. Hey if you are going to show the roll better do it with some nice rubber. :thumbsup

This is my suggestion....

YOU GOT MONEY?!?!!?!
NITTO NT555
BRIDGESTONE POTENZA S-O2/SO-3 (whichever one you like)

YOU DON'T GOT MONEy?!?!
HANKOOK VENTURAS
KUMHO ECSTA SUPRA 712

i don't have money and bought the kumho ecsta supra 712. I have to say. i've been through 2 types of goodyear tires, and Kumho just kicked they're ass by FAR. I have full faith in Kumho right now, and i have yet to see someone dissapointed in the ecsta supra 712 tires.
