I need a 245/18 for my S4, I want something that will last at least 30,000 miles and is a decent performance tire. I would like to pay less than 200 per tire.

Anyone got any preferences?

i kinda like the toyo t1r’s that my car came with, they are roudded sidewall so you can go a lil bit wider and they wont rub…

ive also had good luck with kumho MX’s

did you get new wheels for the S4?

I have snows mounted on stock rims so these would be for summer only.

Yeah I bought 18" BBS CHs, yours looked so I had to get them ha

I actually found a set on ebay for a pretty good deal, but the tires on them which were brand new are too big for my car.

The only tires that I am finding in 245/35/18 are Falken 451 & 452s for a decent price so Im probably going with one of those.

I ended up getting Falken 452s 245/35/18, could of got the 451s but I think these will last longer and is worth the extra $$

I found Hankooks K104s on the net for 100 each, but no one had them in stock, and had no idea when they would get them. They sounded like a great tire for the price from review but no one has them.
