Default which tires to get? 18x9

wheels are 18x9, ive been looking around on tirerack.com ALOT and i cant find that perfect tire. tires cant be much more than $175 each.. i am getting the HP evo wheels.. so some people have been saying thoes only look good big..

heres a few im considering:

Pirelli PZero Nero M&S (Ultra High Performance All-Season)
275/40/18 $187 each 26.66 overall height

Fuzion ZRi (Ultra High Performance Summer)
265/35/18 $162 each 25.3 overall height

my overall height right now on my stock 16''s is 16.1.. so i feel stupid going bigger but at the same time, smaller.

also recommend any other tires if they are in the size/price range.

can do 265 or 275s, dont care about sidewall

I'd look for a 275/35/18 on an 18x9" wheel - that'll give you the same rolling diameter as stock tires. My personal favorite for street driving is the Michelin Pilot Sport or PS2, but a tire that's closer to your price range is the new BFG G-force KDW2. Might take a look at that one and see what you think. I've never run that tire myself, but BFG's are usually a good bang-for-the-buck tire.

*Note: I'm assuming you're looking for a max performance street tire that's not going to see snow.

I have GSD3s and love them the traction is sweet and the tread design is sweet
wear is good on them as well
