I went 235 19 and 265 19 in Conti DW. I like them as much as any tire I've had before. Great in wet. I gather Michelin are as good as it gets.

I think OP mentioned hes putting them on stock 162s. so.. You can do 235/40/18 for front and 265/35/18 for rear (which is a little wider setup) or 225/40 rear & 255/35 rear (which is stock setup). as far as tires go i would not buy anything else but Michelin its expensive but you really get what you pay for, theyre the best tires! i used to buy cheap tires and when i changed to Michelins it was a day & night difference. GL!

So pretty much Michelin is the way to go ya because I'm gonna be lowering my car and want a little more of an aggressive look but will eventually get rims. Thanks
