Good All purpose tires for 18x8 Aspec wheels..

In the next couple of months I plan to put my Aspec wheels back on. Can you all please recommend some good all purpose tires for the 18x8 Aspec wheels? I don't want tires that will wear out quickly with soft tread and I would like to use these tires at least 7-8 months out of the year..

What's the ideal tire size as well?

Your going to get 714 answers here. Size would be 235/40/18 to stay with stock height.

Why not go to www.tirerack.com and put in your criteria. I had good luck with the General Exclaim and the Khumo Ecsta

Really, Search is your friend, my friend.

Summary: Michelin Pilot AS, Pirelli P Zero Nero AS or M+S, Continental Extreme DWS.
Many go for 245/40/18 to get better rim protection. Many good choices!

It depends on the tire, anywhere from $500 to $1000 for a good set in this size.
Taxes, shipping, installation, all come into play, it's not just the cost of tire.

No offense but he wasn't lying, I've noticed it as well. BUT I'm a nice guy and I'll help you out anyways

I'm running a set of 245/40/18 Kuhmo Ecsta Platinum on my A-Specs and I like them. My only gripe is that they don't do well in icy conditions. That doesn't happen too often here in NC but when it does, my car was struggling, especially off of the line.
