Default Suggestions on tires

Looking for some input on what tires to get, looking for 18's most likely 285/55R18 or 285/60R18. I want a good lookin tire, I live in PA but don't need a tire for snow. Anybody had any luck with Falken tires. Thanks

I have Yokohama AVS's (285/50/18) They look bad ***, but are loud on the road. I will be going with Nitto 404's next.

I've got the 285/50 R18 Nitto 404's. Good looking tire. Don't hook like I thought they would but I like them.

Where ya from in PA? I'll be getting some 18's this spring. I'll probably go with the Toyos. Pirelli Scorpians are also a consideration. Check out www.tirerack.com for reviews.

in PA here as well...i'm about to purchase 285/60 18's and I'm looking at the kumho ecsta stx's and the yokohoma geolander ht/s GO52's. Both rate high according to the tirerack ratings. Unlike you I do need something that will at least get me around in bad weather.

ive got some good year eagle gt II, 285/60/18, they are way better than stock and look alright but i definitly go with a more street oriented tire next time probally with a 55 or 50 sidewall, but yeah no real complaints about the eagle gt II's just sort of boring

I'm from Greensburg which is 40 miles out of Pittsburgh. I've been reading alot of reviews makes it even harder to decide. Thanks
