Ok, I'm doing the same, I'm taking off my winter rims and tires and going back to the 18's. I'm looking at the Falken TZ01's, Yoko AVS ST, scorpions, and the Kuhmo Exta. Has anyone used kuhmos? I'm going with 285/60/18's. I've heard that the avs st (my top choice right now) don't have great treadlife, and I know this type of tire isn't going to get good tread life, but I still could use some estimates. Also, the scorpions are supposed to be great, does anyone have them in the 285/60/18 size, and how do you drive? I want lots of traction on road, rain or shine. I have off-road tires for off the road, so these are completely street. Thanks... Andrew
