Best tires for 18" Ill start out with a story.
So I take the gto to the dealership to get everything checked out (warrenty is ending pretty soon) and when I take it up there, I get a reading on the odometer and give them my keys.
When I get it back the car had 10 miles added to it, and 2 flat tires. the was a nail in both the front and back passenger side.. I leave the dealership and the only sound I hear is a tapping noise, later to find out it was the nail in the back tire...they claimed that the tires were already punctured and low when I dropped it off. So my question is what tires are the best for my money? I have 18 in. tsw's and am I need of some tires. Any suggestions will be great.
does anyone else think that I have anything against the dealership? because without a doubt I didn't hit any nails. it would be incredibly obvious as it would sound like a machine gun going off... thanks for any help

First, good luck with getting anything out of the dealership....depends on what you want to do with the car, but for normal daily driver I ran and loved the Riken Raptors. They had decent grip and last a while....if you want more grip, but don't care about wear you can go with a Nitto drag radial, but they get really slick on wet or even damp roads.

Ive been happy with the BFG G-Force Sport line.
There are tires better for drag racing and such, or for even tread life, but the BFGs are an ok balance.
When i take my car to the stealership, i sit in the waiting lobby and dont leave til they are done.
Rather have my afternoon ruined than my car. Too many bad stories on EVERY forum about dealerships bastardizing peoples cars.
Sorry to hear that happened to you.
Good luck on your tire purchase.
