ok better response, quit parking so close to the curb and keep a higher pressure in your tires. if your getting them knicked and scraped from debris, your SOL tire size isnt going to do anything.

Toyo best? Never heard that one. Everyone is going to be bi-ist (sp) and select their brand. But Pirelli, BFgoodridge, yoko is all real nice. I stay away from michellen, cooper, zeon, all offbrand ****, continental and some others i cant think of

Pirelli is the overall better tire - theres a reason they're stock on BMWs and Ferraris.
35 is an awfully low pro tire - i have 35's and hate them. -------------------- |

OK, you should have 215/35/18 sized tires if you want your speedometer to reflect the actual speed that you're going. With this size tire, you should not rub either, assuming you have the correct offset. However, your ride will be worse and you'll have more chances of rim damage than you would with a 40-series tire.
But with the 40-series tire, you might rub...Natalie has 225/40/18-sized tires and she rubs due to her offset. When I had 225/40/18-sized tires on my 18s on my car, I didn't rub, I'm assuming because my offset was different. Also, your speedometer will be off with a 40-series tire. When it says you're going 60 mph, you'll actually be going 63 mph with a 225/40/18 tire. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

[right][snapback]229943[/snapback][/right] With 215/40/18, your diameter will be .9" larger than stock, so you'll be goign 62.2 mph when your speedometer says your going 60 mph. You may rub, but I'm not sure. And do a search on offset. You'll find what you'll need, as it's been covered many times before. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Just do more searching on here and on Google and other sites. It's been covered a lot, and offset basically affects how far your wheel sticks out.

Well i dont care about that, just as long as the ride is better and if 40s will take care of that, then thats what i will do!

[right][snapback]229966[/snapback][/right] You probably should, because rubbing sucks. But it's your car... And yes, 40-series tires will make the ride slightly better. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Have you been actually reading this post? The pros and cons of the different-sized tires have been stated above. I'd go with 215/35/18.

I'd probably do a 225/40 for ease of ride and make it look better. Your speedo wont be too far off, nothing super bad. Also if you have a smaller offset (40 and above) then you'll be fine. I have 225/35/19's on the front of my car with a 35mm offset and I dont rub with a drop!!! So 40's should be just fine.

Ok I have 215/35/18s. I dont like them because I want 225/40s. But like Coomer said its nice having an accurate speedo - except I did the mathematical calculations to come to that conclusion. Weird since the 18's are so much larger than the 15's.
I'd go with a 40 series tire - 35 provides little protection. -------------------- |
