To Those Running 235/40R18s...Help

Those of you running 235/40R18s could you please recommend some...My main concerns are tread life and wet traction...I don't care about noise...Any help would be appreciated...I just ran through a set of Dunlops SP-10s and the treadlife on them was horrible and I'm not an aggressive driver...my car is slow

Thanks

My Kumho 712s seem to be holding up okay. Have about 16k miles on em and am about 50 percent tread life. I drive like a pitbull on crack.

I have the HTR+, probably put 12,000 on them so far, no problems as far as wear and driving in 25" of snow.

Noise? If there is any, the rattles coming from the front and back of the Maxima drown it out.

if tread life and wet handling is your main concern, get the Nitto 555s...IMO, they're the best Z-rated Wet tires...just not good track tires..
