nexen n5000 or kuhmo ecsta asx.

Change the size of the rear tire to either 245/40/18 or 255/35/18. It's cheaper to find the rear tire that way. They both fit fine on stock rear rims.

My stock bridgestone potenzas are 255/40/18 rear....

TireRack.com also lists 255/40/18 as OEM size...

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Select...utoModClar=RWD

So, no, im not kidding...

As for good tires ... some of the more popular ones are Bridgestone Potenzas, Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, and Michelin PS2s....

How come tirerack is so much cheaper than discounttires?

The Kumho Ecsta ASX on tirerack is 96, on discountire its 135. Should I trust tirerack?
