I need to find some good rubber for the 18" rims I have, they are 8" wide. I know nothign about tires though. I went to a local tire store today (a huge one) and they said they don't carry the low profile "skinny" ones, and that I'd have to go to a tire specialty shop for them.

Will I be best off ordering tires online? But then shipping will be a ***** right.. it might be easier to get the tires from a local shop?

And also.. for my 18's, is the only option low profile tires? That's what everyone has/the only ones that will fit?

Thanks, sorry I'm a noob with tires.

im in the same boat as you, in a few months i will be getting new tires, i think 235/40/18's? is there a company called tire barn near you? thats where im going and i would think a good tire place can at least order some for you, i say time to get the phone book out. what size do you plan are getting?

 

We have a tire store and 235/40/18 or 245/40/18 are a good size... You should be able to get both sizes in a Falken...

BJ and Costco have excellent tire policy.
