Need new tires, suggestions?

I had a front tire go bad the other day and the tire has less than 8k miles on it, a bubble in the sidewall must have helped it out. (lol)

Also noticed that the last tire shop mounted two right side directional front tires, so one of the fronts are non directional. and roll the wrong way.

Anyways, I would like to get a new set. Size are 245/40/18 up front and 275/35/18

open to suggestions. There are too many choices.

Take a look at the PS2 at tire rack, and you may need new Tire pressure sensors too, easy to change with tires.

Nitto INVO. Absolutely love them. Depends on how many miles you want to get out of your tire though.
