Toyo Proxes 4
Kuhmo Ecsta ASX
Sumitomo HTR+

the size i will be picking up will be 235/40/18

I have the Toyo Proxes 4 and love them. I had the Toyo FZ4 before and the 4's look and perform better.

I've been running the Kumho ASXs for about 2000 miles. I think they are great tires. W-speed rating, 420 treadwear rating, smooth, quiet AND grippy.

Seem hard to beat for the price.
