Need help with tire choice

Guys the stock tires are toast and I didnt get 30k out of em. I know Pirelli's are soft so no biggie. What is a good INEXPENSIVE tire I could purchase and from whom can I purchase said tire from. Thanks for the help on this forum.

you want something all season or performance? Nitto Neogen for a good all season performance of Falken 912's. Or for straight performance Nitto NT555 or Falken 615's. Tirerack usually has some ok deals, better to go to a local shop with cash IMO

Nitto Neogen. They are designed to wear evenly on lowered cars with a lot of negative camber. Dicounttiredirect.com has them pretty cheap. 225/40/18's are your best option aside from the stock 215/45/18's. Not many tires come in 215/45/18.

Falken 912's or Toyo Proxes IV.

The Falkens will probably be cheaper; but the thing about falkens is, they do not ride like cheap tires!!! They're high quality and ride comfort really betray the price. Just a really awesome tire for the $$$...

So a 225/45/18 will fit a 06 SS/SC that has lowered springs on it? That would mean the tire is 10mm wider than stock correct?
