    Well just looking 255's are gonna run you more compared to a 245 as an alternative to save some money. Unless these aren't going on a GP.

    Well I have Kuhmo 4x's and Bridgestone Potenzas that are staring to dry rot pretty bad. Both are very good in wet and dry, aweful in snow/ice well the potenzas are a bit better in snow/ice. Iv been told nice all seasons are good especially for where you get snow. My next set of rubber is gonna be something like a Goodyear Assurance Touring because they can be had for a smidge over 100 a tire and gotten decent reviews at least for 225/60/16. Idk if I'm helpin ya at all or not, what I did was find local places like tire discounters, discount tire. Then price tires online find ones I like withen a good price range then google them for reviews.

    255's are too wide, got them and won't do it again. 245's max on 18's unless you roll the fenders.
    just sayin...

    245/55/18 is way too tall. Its about 2" taller than stock. You want 245/45/18

    This might help. I run 255/45/18 but my rear fenders were rolled before I bought my tires. I got P zero Neros Pirelli.

    This coupon on new tires might help.

    Had 255/45/18's on the front GXP rims on my old 01 GTP with no rubbing problems.
    Bilsteins were probably a factor though.

    I know those are made by Nankang (taiwan). Hardly any reviews on them out there. I'd dig around before dropping the money on an inexpensive tire as this is one area I don't like to skimp on. It's the only thing between my car and the road.
