Hey guys,
OK, I've done a search, but I can't find anything on tires in this forum. I am looking to find out what the best tire is out there. I am purchasing a set of 18s with 215/35/18 tires. I figured out which rims I want, but can't decide on a tire. I keep hearing bad things about the Parada, but I like the way it looks. I am looking at the Nitto 555 and Toyo T1-S as well. Any info would be appreciated. Does anyone know of a website that has reviews of tires. If you have any other suggestions or ideas for me too, that would be great. Thanks a lot!!

Check out Discounttires.com they offer free shipping. I know to a lot of people looks are everything but you have to learn to balance you feelings about the tire between wear, traction, ride, and looks. Most of these sites tell you the Tire Wear Reading. My tire wear rating is 340 , any thing over 300 is pretty good. Tire wear is important to me because if I'm going to spend $400 for tires I want them to last. I got my Kumho 711 for $75 a piece. Wear Rating 340 Traction AA Temp A. I know a lot of people prefer the 712 but it didn't make any sense to me to pay $25 more per tire and get less wear out of them 280. Hmm...Maybe if I were to take corners at 80mpg or driving 170+...Maybe not..
