are you going to drop the car? 215 and 245 will be safer.

If you want the best tires, go with the Bridgestone RE050A Pole Positions. I just ordered a set for my new wheels (18x8 and 18x9) from TireRack. I've tried these tires, and no other tire compares. Even TireRack ranks them #1 among all their tires. I called Jim yesterday and ordered a set for a total of $840 shipped. Bridgestone also has $100 mail in rebate when you purchase all four by June 30th. I ordered 225/40/18 and 265/35/18. The reason I ordered the 265 is because these tires aren't made in the 255. Good Luck and don't go cheap.
