i bought a set of stock wheels off an 09 and (the 18's) and they came with http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes and they are pretty sticky, i have to really get into it to spin em, and they dont really make a squeal, its more of a lower pitched scrape noise. the ones in sig pic

get some old shocks and put all the way around it. i have 97k on my shocks and my truck squats like a **** when you get on it. its very useful and the ride is a little rough but not painful or anything.
