My curiousty peeked as well. After some research on www.1010Tires.com which shows all available sizes by brand and model, I discovered the following statistics:

Falken - Ziex S/TZ01, Largest 18" Size = 265/60R18 (OEM 245/60R18 is not available).

Falken - Ziex S/TZ04, Largest 18" Size = 285/60R18 (OEM 245/60R18 is not available).

Falken - Ziex Z/E-912, Largest 18" Size = 265/60R18 (OEM 245/60R18 is also available).

On-line prices for the above Falken tires hover in the $135 -- $145 price range per each tire. Nowhere near the ideal $100 price mark per tire as with the wider 285 series Fuzion or Cooper brands.

Anyway, I hope the new Falken tires help with the sale and gives good vibes to perspective buyers.

hm the 265/60 ZE912 must be a new one within the past year, def was not available when i bought my tires last august. Hopefully they improved their rubber compound though. i have seen many 236/60/16s and larger come back for premature wear (about 40k when they have a 65k warranty) but never had any ride or traction complaints so you made a good choice for a tire on a vehicle for sale. if you dont mind me asking, what was your out the door price with mount and balance?

the stz04 is available in a few sizes larger than 285/60/18 (31.5) which is what im running. they are also available in

265/65/18 (31.6")
275/65/18 (32.1")
265/70/18 (32.7")
275/70/18 (33.1")
