Default tire help asap!!!!

I was driving I-495 S in NY and my driver's side rear tire blew off and separated from the rim. I quickly pulled over beteen I-495 S and I-678. There was no side lane and I could only find small triangle area between those two highways. Luckily no scratches on my rim and tire pressure censor is fine.

I wanted to get new tires because I didn't want to drive with a yellow donut but no tireshops near Sear's auto Center had it. of course Sears didn't have it.

I went to Costco today and they didn't have it.

I had 255/40R18 95Y Bridgestone summer tires on but now I want All Season.

now I'm looking for "255/40R18 95Y Hankook Ventus V12 Evo" is it All season?

also 225 for the front too.

Where do you find it? I just can't find it. I live in PA near Philadelphia

Costco gave me price on PS to order Pilot Sports AS+ for $261.99 rear one set/$238.99 front . I know it is the best tire but right now it too expensive for me.....

search by size from there, they absolutely have the V12s in the sizes you want.


Tire rack has em as well, including, again, the sizes you want:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....s+V12+evo+K110


However, these are max performance summer tires, NOT all seasons.

That's ok by me, as I think the best results are driving on summer tires in the summer, and winter tires in the winter.... I consider all-seasons a compromise that aren't great at anything.... but if you're set on getting all seasons, there aren't them.
