Your not asking a serious question are you? , , I can't believe you posted this question here , ,

You only need to change your wheels if you want to go to 19" or wider 18" tires...

Are you looking for an all-season or a summer-only tire?

Gary,

I would like to upgrade my stock wheel/tire setup as well. But, I would like to stick with RFTs. Thinking of 18x8.5 M6 replicas.

1. Do you know if there are any good all-season RFTs for those?

2. noob question: How do you pick a tire size based on the wheel diameter/width?

Thanks!

The only all-season runflat tire in the 225/40R18 size that you would use is the Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02 RFT. All of the other all season tires in this size are non-runflat tires.

Living in Canada, Toronto, as you might know winters are not easy, I think it would be better to get winter tires
