i just got my new 18's wrapped in Kumho ECSTA Supra 712's in 235/40/18, they are rated very well, have a tread wear of 280 which is very good compared to some other top names.

go to: www.tirerack.com where you can check out the specs on almost every tire made.

hope that helps,

Ant

I like the RK, can you get a 18z8 or does it only come in 18x7.5? Since you're spending some coyne on the rims you might as well not cheap out on the tires. If you need all season I'd go Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. If you want a summer tire, why not Pirelli PZero Rosso Asimmetrico? I'd go 245/40-18 but the Tire Rack recommends the same 235/40-18 as our 4th gens. Maybe you should call them and ask them why, that would be too small, maybe it's their database because usually their Plus 1 or Plus 2 recommendations are correct.
