I would go with the best tire you can afford. The GSD-3 is the best, I had them a loved every moment, in both the wet and dry !

the goodyears are good tires
Why do you need all season- ??
the only thing they have over summer tires is basic snow use, some `summer` tires like the General Exclaim UHP, are tested by www.tirerack.com #1 as a summer, AND have M&S rating as mild winter tires
check them out for about 100 each

+1.

If you aren't in rainy/snowy weather, GS-D3's are the best there is!

I certainly would recommend 245/40-18 instead of the 235's. The diameter of the 245 is perfect at @ 25.7" and would give more rim protection with the 3.85" sidewall height.

ICW Racing wheels in a 18" are typically 7.5" wide, you dont want a 245 on there. sidewalls would balloon

You're correct as I didn't realize anyone would put a smaller width wheel on their vehicle. Actually, why would anyone put a rim that is smaller than an OE wheel on the TL, or any car.
Buy nice rims to show off the car, and as they are smaller, cannot put a larger size tire on the car. It sure doesn't make any sense to me!

Sorry for intial response.

After looking at the ICW wgeels, now I understand why some would want to purchase a set......They're very inexpensive.........Don't want to say cheap.
