Default All Season tires

Does anyone know if there are any all season, or winter tires for sizes 225/245-45-18? I have looked around, and I can't seem to find any.

Thanks.

I’ve posted Consumer Reports recommendations for performance all-season tires several times. Please search.

Check out Tirertack.

Be sure you choose a tire with proper speed rating.

Thanks. The thing I am wondering though, is whether or not I have to stay with the stock sizes for the stock wheels. Don't see much on the 06's other than performance summer tires.

I ended up going with 245/40 and 275/40 Kumho Ecsta ASXs.

The additional advantage is that the tires protect the rims much better than the stock size.

that is what I was looking for. Not sure what the largest tire I can go to is, and not sure what the offsets are on my wheels. Thanks for the help guys...sorry I didn't search first.

Yeah, for the '06 wheels, these are the only all-season tires I have found that fit.

I just drove in the snow on the ASXs.

They aren't dedicated snow tires, but for all-seasons I didn't have any real problems until I got into the "snow on slush/ice" that we often get here -- but then again almost any tire has problems on that kind of surface.

[Edit]The "problems" I had were of the "I can't get on the throttle or the back end kind of steps out" kind of problem. Pretty basic winter driving stuff.[/Edit]
