Tires Nexen or Kumho

225/40/19 snows are what i run on the stock wheel, the Kumho Wintercraft WP72 is a killer tire for the money ($173 on simple tire)

I had a set of those in 31x10.5x15. I really liked them. I kept the pressures around 25-27 psi had them for almost 30k miles.

Kuhmo Ecsta PS91 245/40/R18

Tyres: Kumho ecsta lx platinum

I swapped my OEM tires for summer tires (Kumho Ecsta PS31), they provide much more grip and are a bit quieter though since they aren't LRR (Low Rolling Resistance) I do lose about 10% on range.

Spend the money on a really good set of fronts. Nexen SUR04

Go with the Kumhos from Tire Rack. I had really good experience with them

I have the Kuhmo Road Venture APT KL51 235/60. I was very happy with them until I realized the fronts are shot after 20K mi. I probably ran them under inflated a bit for too long. And never rotated them =(. The taller than stock size makes zero noticeable difference on the speedo or power on the road. My speedo matches my GPS reading exactly. Clearance is no problem.

I have some Nexen tires on a Kia Optima and all four are "out of round" with only 17k Miles. Like riding on square block. Crappy tires!

These tires have 17k miles on them in the city and are completely useless now. It feels like I am driving in my Jeep offroad. The car literally pitches and rolls at low speeds; at highway speeds it vibrates badly.
