Opinion on Tires

Looking for new All Season tires for Enkei EKM 3 18X8 40+ offset.

So far choices are narrow to:

Toyo Proxes 4
BFGoodrich gForce Super Sport
Kumho ECSTA LX

Provide any other options you can think of.

Also should I do 235/40 ro 245/40

Take a look at the Yokohama W4s 245/40-18. Look at the tread width 9.2". Great all around tire. I have the Yokohama S4, a bit pricey but outstanding.

Hey man... i've got the Proxes 4 on my new enkeis... i love them.... sticky, long lasting tread

my only beef is... the road noise... its not very loud like some wheels.. but it sounds like an electrical whine//jet engine..... hard to explain... i thought there was something wrong with my car, until somebody with the same tires told me the same thing..

The Proxes 4 are UHP AS, with a like a 300 tread wear or better.... grips the road amazing

the noise is weird while accelerating and coming to a stop???? Im getting a weird noise like that on the toyos as well but they are beefy and handle real good.
