    I am looking to purchase some 245/45-18 tires. I want an All Season Tire that's quiet, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is what i've found so far in my price range, not sure how they compare.

    Kumho Ecsta ZX Platinum 600AA $156.00

    Continental Conti Pro 400AA $146.00

    Dunlop SP Sport 516 460AA $157.00

    I've searched www.tirerack.com , www.tires.com , www.tireteam.com , www.pepboys.com

    If anyone has other sites they recommend for good prices on good tires. I can install them and balance them, so shipping in tires would be fine too. Thanks in advance.

    TireRack is good, I have found their prices to be as good or better than the other (.com)s . I’m getting new tires this spring so I have been researching also.

    Of the tires you listed, I’d get the Kumho’s.

    Thanks for input so far. I've been thinking Tire Rack also, they have a warehouse north of me in South Bend, IN so I would have tires the next day. I'd rather find a place out of state to save tax and maybe offer free shipping, even though nothing is truly free.

    i know of a good all-round tire thats pretty cheap. gets great reviews for being decently quiet, quite a lot of grip and lasts a while. general uhp's. they should be in your price range too, even a bit cheaper.
