225/40R18's might be a bit tall, we recommend 225/35-18's! Are you looking for a "Summer" Wet/Dry tire or an All-Season?

I got 16x7 5ZIGEN FN01R-C's wrapped in 205/50VR16 Nitto Neo Gens. They have a 280 Treadwear so they're softer, but not too soft like the Falken Azenis which are 200 Treadwear. Also the Neo Gens are all season and supposedly have good traction in the snow, I don't know I havent tried it, but I can hang at freeway speed in the rain!:-D

i see your using 18x7 wheels.

which means they'd stretch more on my 7.5's..

i wonder if 225 would work.

IF you really want some awsome dry tires get Falken Azenis. 200 Treadwear, So they're pretty soft. The only problem you will have is that they pick up anything on the road, I don't recomend them if you drive on ____ty roads.

I can tell you and everyone else out there in cyber land that the NanKangs are not the best in rain or snow. I had my first expeirence with snow today; not any more then 1/2 inch on the roads, and had to bring her home early.

I think in the spring, or summer, ill go with the Yokohama Avid HS1.

nitto 555R 225/35/18

I have close to 16k miles on these tires and they still have a lot of tread left...
I don't drive my car too hard, except on kelly drive which is a somewhat demanding set of turns, but on the street i take it easy and often don't go past 70... nj/pa roads are unforgiving...

you must check the tire pressures out every couple of days if you speed a lot...
and they are pretty noisy tires due to the sidewalls...
