EDITED FOR STUPIDITY ON MY PART

Ok either way I still think I have a bad tire, but I for some reason thought I have 205/40/18 but I really have 225/40/18, which makes more sense lol. Now there is a tire selections like crazy! I mixed up the 205 with my stock tire size, cause I just put them back on to test if it was my tires or an alignment...Now I just have to decide to trash these tires and get 4 new ones, or just rotate em and run these ones out....I wish my wheels next came w/ those hanook or whatever, they look much nicer! And now wheelsnext.com wont load for the past 2 days anyways...grrr. Wonder if they warranty tires with 11K miles on em for faults...any experience?

ORIGINAL POST

I had the post about my tires from wheelsnext , and possibly being a bad tire...i tried searching online for 205/40/18 and not much luck as far as selection. seems only to be a few companies?

The main thing is the tires i have the sidewalls look too big. My 17's stock tires have a smaller looking sidewall due the the way the tire lips onto the rim...Any recommendations of a good/affordable tire that is like this in 205/40/18?

Thanks!

 

Not if you want the stretched look on a 7.5 inch wide wheel.

 

Moved to T&B.

 

oops sorry. so used to just visiting the tC area of the forums hehe

I ask because if this tire is bad, and i cant get it replaced free...i will want to get new tires down the road and for now just rotate that bad tire to the back if its whats making a pull...

But I want to get eye appealing tires too! These ones i have are just ugly sidewalls. I hate how the design is. Kind of hard to tell by this pic, but like i said the stock 17's have that little lip/groove that make the sidewall appear smaller...

 

First question I have is How are you sure it's the tire thats bad and not the rim? Second what kind of tires do you have now? I my personal experience it's usually the rim thats bad rather than tire. Not saying the tire can't be bad just check the rim as well.

I had some guys here at the dealership mount a 225/40/18 on my rims and the guy who did it swore it was a bad tire so he got another one and it was still a no go. 2 bad tires in a row? I wasn't buying it. Turned out the tire wasn't seated properly on the wheel.
