225/40/18 Tire Recommendations
Need some recommendations for 225/40/18 tires. Tread ratings above 300, i need them to last. I have Hankook K106 on the car now and they ok, but I am interested in what others are running or recommend. If we can, stay below $150.00 per tire. Z rating is not required, but min is H rating. Thanks for your help.

General Exclaim UHP work pretty well for $100 a tire from the rack.Test pretty well with a 380 treadwear. But liek PTHermes said... You're going to sacrifice lots of grip but will have a lot more life.

Life of the tire is the point, but I still want some grip. The Hankooks are a good compromise. I do not see the point in paying 200.00 per tire that only last 1/4 of the life of the 120.00 tire with similar performance. I researched the Nexan brand, but I have never had these on a car. I may just go back with the Hankooks.

You could afford 18" wheels, but you can't afford the best tires for them?

What about the Sumitomo HTR Z III? I hear wonderful things about them.
And zdan, 18s aren't THAT expensive. My Kazera's from Tire Rack were under $600 for the wheels themselves. My Star Specs cost more than that. Now if he has the baller Volks, Advans, etc, then I could see your point.

The point is, don't buy 18" wheels if you don't like spending a lot on tires.
