tire advice

ok so i know there may be a few of these around but the search feature isn't the greatest and i don't have the patience to go through all the pages. as some may know i have recently acquired some rims. i have 18x8 rims and was looking to get 225/40/18 tires. my budget is capped at $150/tire. i have been doin some research on my end but am curious to c wut u guys r running and what u reccommend. i am looking for a tire with pretty good grip and would like to get some time out of the tires.

one of my buddies mentioned the brand achilles to me but i can't imagine they r gonna b too great. have a great wear rating but don't think traction is going to be the best. has anyone heard of this brand and/or actually experienced them. thanks in advance!

Nitto NT555s I got some for 120 a tire. Getting ready to test mine on my recently turbo swapped lsj. They seem very very sticky with a hard sidewall.
