Recommendations Wanted: W208 Upgrade
I will be purchasing 18" Tires & Wheels for my W208 tomorrow. I'm looking for suggestions, as I am *very confused*. It looks like I should be going with 225/40-18. I was looking at Pirelli PZero, but the reviews are more than a little disheartening. I live in Newport Beach, California... snow does not exist here. It rains for 1-3 months per year, usually very lightly. Performance is important, but not at the expense of ultimate comfort/quiet. Tread wear isn't terribly important, but I don't want something which will only last me 10K miles.

What kind of rims and tires did you end up going with? I am going through the same situation. I find that rims that look great in 19" do not look as good in 18". I have thought about it and 18" is what I want to go with, however, there is a great reduction in selection for 18" rims.
