Default 18x10.5 tires

just wondering what some opinions are on some different tires for a 18x10.5 rim...

i know i can run 295's, 305's, or 315's... but most likely 295's or 305's.

anyways, just wondering what are some decent, yet cheap tires to go with for this size rim. and i dont need DR's, this is my DD just need some cheap decent tires.

I have a set of 10.5 rear Z06 wheels that will be in tomorrow and I bought a set of 295/35/18 toyo proxie T1r's for them today. there supposed to be a really nice tire I'll let you know how they work out next week. its hard to find a company that makes both a 275 and a 295 I have come to find. BFgoodrich makes the g-force T/A KDW2 but the 295's are on back order for a while I was told the other option is kumho makes a 295.

I got mine from a friends shop and paid cost on them, but I think there normally around $850-$900 for a 275/35/18 front and a 295/35/18 rear.
