ok better response, quit parking so close to the curb and keep a higher pressure in your tires. if your getting them knicked and scraped from debris, your SOL tire size isnt going to do anything.

Toyo best? Never heard that one. Everyone is going to be bi-ist (sp) and select their brand. But Pirelli, BFgoodridge, yoko is all real nice. I stay away from michellen, cooper, zeon, all offbrand ****, continental and some others i cant think of

Pirelli is the overall better tire - theres a reason they're stock on BMWs and Ferraris.
35 is an awfully low pro tire - i have 35's and hate them. -------------------- |

OK, you should have 215/35/18 sized tires if you want your speedometer to reflect the actual speed that you're going. With this size tire, you should not rub either, assuming you have the correct offset. However, your ride will be worse and you'll have more chances of rim damage than you would with a 40-series tire.
But with the 40-series tire, you might rub...Natalie has 225/40/18-sized tires and she rubs due to her offset. When I had 225/40/18-sized tires on my 18s on my car, I didn't rub, I'm assuming because my offset was different. Also, your speedometer will be off with a 40-series tire. When it says you're going 60 mph, you'll actually be going 63 mph with a 225/40/18 tire. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
