Hey y'all,

I'm about to pop some 18s on my '99 GXE and I've been wondering what size tires to get. One of my boys said 235/40--but those numbers mean nothing to me. Is that the right size?

Also, any brand recommendations would be nice (I'm willing to spend up to about $100/tire).

Thanks.

 

Toyo proxes 235/45 will ride great.

 

Hey thanks man...

anybody know anything about Kumho ECSTAs? Good tires?

 

Up to $100? That's going to be tough, and it'll limit your choices. I think for the most part, you'll be looking at about at least $125 each, or course depending on the size and brand. It seems like a lot of guys here on the org. recommend Falkens. I would also look into Kumho's as well, because I've heard that for the $$$ both of those are pretty good. Call around, or check tirerack.com, tires.com, or 1010tires.com. Good luck!

 

100/tire for 18's isn't enough IMO. On a 4th gen, 235/40/18 is the closest you will get to stock size with an 18" rim...just make sure the wheel is wide enough to support the tire (7.5" +)

 

For 18's, go with 235/40 or 245/40. Don't listen to those people saying to use 45 series with those widths.

And you may want to rethink your budget. Any good tires will easily cost $150 or more each. Considering they're the only thing keeping you on the road, don't be cheap.
