IMHO, you can't go wrong with them.
Thats exactly what I needed to hear!

thank you!

Gotta throw in for Toyo with the Proxes4 tire. It's a great all-season performance tire available in your 215-35-zr18 size. I'm on my second pair of proxes4 and there great. http://www.toyo.com/tires/tire_lines.../proxes_4.html

Well, I want to thank you all for helping me decied which tires to get.

I have come to the conclusion that Kumhos are equally as good as falkens, but from asking around, Falkens ride more quieter than kumhos. that, with the fact that the Falken ZIEX 512's are rated #1 by consumer reports is the reason why I got them.

I have to say, I got THE BEST service from EDGERACING.com.
they had the 215/35/18's for $99 a piece!- with $60 shipping, I paid $115 a tire!

Tires.com wanted $117 a tire PLUS shipping! ($38 )...So I saved About $50 from Edge. They gave me a tracking number via an E-mail within a couple of hours!

I highly reccomend them!

I have had these TRD 18" in my closet for the last 5 months!, NOW, you guys know why I wanted tires soo bad!




Im also throwing in a pic of my pup, MAX!

That's kinda my point. It's not the people in their right mind that you need to worry about.
