New tires help

Both of my rear tires were gettin flat so i decided to take them in to have them checked out, turns out that they both were split open. I dont know how the hell thats possible even though i am living in a area with some shitty roads. So for 120 bucks i bought the only two tires that they had would fit, one is a 225/40/r18 and the other is a 245/40/r18! I need some new tires and im planning on getttin 4 new ones. What are some of the better tires for traction and handling??? The 245 looks sweet in the back cause it fills the gap in the wheelwell, but with a fwd car there is no need for bigger tires in the back, I am still considering getting bigger tires in the back though, they look badass. any help would be appreciated.

Wow. So there's only one place in town that sells tires? That's just one of many brain-hurting questions that come out of this post.
