What tires are good for "18"?

I want to get your feed back on what fits on an "18 inch rim, example 235/45/18 and what brand do you guys recommend?

you want overall value - Kuhmo Supra 712
you want long last tread wear - Nitto 555
you want best peformance and handling - Michilen Pilots, Dunlop SP9000

go to tirerack.com and see the ratings on each tire and how it applies to you

I recommend Yokohamas. they have nice grip and aren't ungodly expensive.

I have Yokohama Prada's on my car. 225 40 18 zr rated. I also put a set on my wife's 2k bmw 323i. They have been trouble free and extremely competent. The best thing about them is that I paid about $600 a set at Victoria tires.com.

Stickier tires in dry usually mean crap tires in the rain. Unless they are Bridgestone RE92s..
