235/40-18... recommendations?

I'm looking to find tires that fit an 18x7.5 rim for my '03 Max SE Titanium... I've got the rims, but finding good all-season high performance tires in this size is proving quite difficult. I live in Jersey, so I need something that will handle light snow, but keep the dry-handling at a maximum. Any suggestions for tires would be greatly appreciated, and where to buy them would be even better. BTW, soon to put up a set of four '03 titanium Edition rims & tires with only 3900 miles on them, one rotation..... Thanks for the help!

You might consider 225/40-18. 235, tho looks sweet, might be a problem on the road course or enthusiastic on/off ramps. 235/40-18 are not meant for 7.5" rims. I made the mistake and regret it.

Many members are raving about Sumitomo HTR+. If you're on a budget, I'd go with those. Continental ContiExtremeContact are also popular, but i hated mine...they're worse than stock, imo. If you can afford it, get Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. I loved those, but cost is definitely an issue with them.

I can't comment on snow tho...doesn't sno much here in SoCal. Good luck.
