It depends on what kind of driving you plan on doing...
225/40/18 is gonna rub a little (I have that size), so I hope you don't plan
on going too high performance... Any Z rated tire will do.. I have Yokahama
Peace

I have these:
They are Flaken Ziex ZE-512. Mine are 205/50R-16 but they come in all sizes. They are listed as a performance all-season tire. They were rated #1 buy Consumer Reports in their class too. I got them from http://www.discounttiredirect.com at a really good price. I love 'em. They are much quieter than the stock tires, they hold the road a LOT better, and they seem to be very good in snow too.

I'm running the Sumitomo HTR Z II - 215/40/17. Great dry traction, good in wet. reviews are pretty good and I think they are nice. Not too loud, but not too soft and they've got a nice looking tread pattern that doesn't hurt the appearance...

Falken Azenis on stock rims. I wouldn't really suggest em for a cruiser car cuz they grip every nook n cranny on the road and the car pulls in every direction. But for basic road racing...their untouchable.

I have Bridgestone Potenze RE-950's:
Great tire... good dry handling, EXCELLENT wet handling, & nice tire wear. A little expensive, but worth it to me. I had these on my CRX also, so you can see I trust these. Worth it... check them out.

what tires are you rolling?
I've got Nitto Neo Gens 225-40-18's on 18" Zinik sabini's. the definately will rub on the fronts, but only when you have wheel turned all the way. i've had the plastic cut out of the wheel well some, in the front, and it has helped to they only rub when i'm in reverse and cut it hard. you'll have to shave a quarter inch of metal to make them fit so no touchy on the well. but it can get done. the tires are incredible with the crazy unusual design. they're made for scions. i've droped it with hotchkis springs which is an absolute if you put that size on. if not your xb will sit entirely way to high.

Anyone run 225/35/18's?
i got 18x7.5 adr's with goldlines springs and cannot figure out a good tire size?
i dont want to cut anyhting metal but can cut some plastic.
anyone have good pictures of the 215/35/18? seem the the tire width would be tiny lookign like a drift tire..
whatcha think.

I'm running 215/40-17 Nitto NeoGens, but will be running 205/40-18 and 215/35-18 sometime this year, or 205/45-16.
Hmm, kind of tall, and will likely rub while turning. I'm pretty sure 215/35-18s are the better choice unless you have camber.
