go with 225/40/18. Its the right size, plus you get more tire, and a bigger sidewall to protect your rims better. I personally have toyo's and i love them. but, they are not on your list. Off of your list I would go with the BF goodrich tires, I have heard nothing but great things about them from alot of various people with them

ACTUALLY.......215/40/18 is more closer to the factory diameter than the 225. although the 225/40 would also work. i have 215/40/18's and i couldnt be happier.

even if they're all season i dont think you'll want to be using them in the winter, thats been my experience with my hanooks. can't climb a hill worth ----

good tire any other time of year though. lol

Agreed. Even with brand new FZ4's, I had difficulty in deep snow on some pretty trivial grades.

D.BFGoodrich G-Force KDW - gets my vote. I have them on my car and love them. www.tirerack.com has them for $143.00 for 225/40/18's, that is the best price i could find when i got mine. All the hp and suspension mods in the world don't mean @!#$ if your on crappy tires.

I just got my new 18's with Hankook Ventus Sport K104's, and I absolutely love 'em. The BFG G-Force KDW's are excellent tires also.
