For those running 18's daily, what is the everyone's favorite tires? Most likely all seasons. Thinking about going back to 18's for a bit more forgiving ride.

Im currently running gtr's wrapped in the forums favorite hankook rh06. Might post these up for sale.
 
Yokohama YK580

I'm currently running these right now. So far I've put 10K miles on them and the thread is still looks like new. The handling is great and the tires are extremely quiet.
 
I run the Yokohama Geolander AT/S tires on my 18" OE wheels and love them exceptional in the Snow and great summer tires too.
A high wear rating and not noisy.
 
I currently have Hankook all seasons but would not recommend them for wet driving. My slip light comes on a lot. My original oem Bridgestone Potenzas were great in all conditions but are pretty costly.

As my Bridgestones got low on tread I thought they were making a fair bit of tire noise. When I changed to the Hankooks the noise persisted and started getting worse and I thought maybe the Hankooks were just noisy tires. Kept getting worse until I isolated the right front and changed the bearing. Noise disappeared completely. Not sure if my Bridgestones were ever noisy and know that my Hankooks are not now. You might want to check your front bearings.
 
Been running Yokohama Geolandar H/T G038G for my last 3 sets. Thinking of trying Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056. Anyone see any issues with this? dropping down a speed rating but I rarely go over 100mph so the 130 vs 149 should be fine.
 
Toyo Proxes. They came with my FX35 when I bought it last November. I like the tread pattern and the ride, but they list at between $160 and $200 apiece, which to me seems pretty high. Anyone have or hear of any issues with these tires? I'm like a babe in the woods when it comes to high performance tires, I don't know if these tires are any good.
