What's a good size to get? 235/40/18 front 265/40/18 rear? I've heard this is a good combo, but the owners manual says something else.

I purchased Michelin Pilot Alpin 235/40/18 fronts and 265/40/18 rears with black Andros Spec P rims including TPMS and the TireRack wall mount storage rack for $2500. Can't beat that!

You can see the tires and rims mounted and the storage rack in the back corner.
