Default I need help with tire size.

Hey guys I have to drive across the country and back in my XB. I have 215/35/18s on it right now and was wondering what tires should I go with to make the trip more comfortable and to avoid bending another rim due to the pot holes. Thanks for any help guys.

Put the stock 15" steelies and stock size Michelin Harmony tires on and you will be much more comfortable and will avoid bending rims due to pot holes.

When I bought my Scion I upgraded the rims there and they never gave me the orignal rims. Should they have?

Do you think they are going to tell me to get lost when they find out it has been like 8 months since I bought the XB?

Yes, probably, but those original wheels and tires are STILL yours.

You bought four new wheels and tires from them at full price, you didn't trade in your originals.

They either still have them stored somewhere or sold them at a profit...

Well, I just got off the phone with toyota. I was told that the rims and tires (18s) were sold to me at a discount because of the tire trade in. So I asked why I was never informed about this and was told why didn't you ask when you bought them? So pretty much I was told to go ____ up a rope.
