Default HEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!

Ok guys I've never bought tires before so I need mad help. I'm going with a 18x7.5 Konig Unknown. What are thoughts on tire brand and size. Nexen tires come with the wheels. Any thoughts on these? Also I hear all this talk about chamber wear........ how do I avoid this? I want to order rims this week but I'm over seas with no help and won't be home till next month and want the rims waiting on me................ANYONE HELP PLEASE!!!! I did'nt know ordering rims and tires was so stressful.

nexens are pretty crappy but better than nankang and hankook imo. not bad for a cheap wheel combo. they arent great they dont last that long but they work and are cheap and easy

Rodger....Thanks for protecting our freedom. I haven't come in contact with these wheels but here's a link where you can perhaps get some more info.

if you got the money go for a toyo, pirelli, or a falken.. I had good experience with all of them, running stretched falkens now.. Good luck

TRD had 19" wheels for the xB for like a month then discontinued them, I think due to rubbing....just FYI.
Never heard of Nexen tires.
I have heard good things about the Nittos and Falkens.

Who you buying from? I went with 17" Unknowns from www.treadepot.com

They were great to deal with. Good luck.
