I have some q's on i dont want to spend more than 1100$ on a wheel and tire packege, want black 18's. On wheelmax i found some and these are te tires i have to choose, which are the best for traction, grip, stopping, rain driving, durability, and how long they last its between these Nexen N5000, Hankook K106, or hankook H405 which are the best, and if yall know better sites lemme know.

 Sentence structure and grammar would be fantastic in your post. Either way you are really asking allot for the budget that you are on. We could probably help you better if you provided us with a link to the wheels you are planning to purchase. Nexens are horrible tires, to me they are in the same category as the "Wanli" tires that you usually find for dirt cheap. Its between those two Hankooks, I looked up the stats on both and they seem to be identical tires other than the thread pattern.

 Both Nexens and Hanooks are budget tires and I wouldn't use either. Remember you're going to get what you pay for. Avon Mach 550's are a reasonably priced tire and I can attest to their performance. Dry traction is fantastic. Wet is not bad. Snow sucks. They're about 130 apiece on tirerack (the last time I checked)

 BF Goodrich g-force T/A KDW 2 tires are great. Best summer wet/dry grip and longevity as well. Your ride remains smooth with a soft, overall tire design, but is stiff enough to not throw you on turns.


Complaining is futile when you supported the victory.

 ^^ x2 on the BGFs. that's what I'm running and they're awesome. I also recommend looking at the Kumho Estas ASX. they're like 90 a piece and have good ratings

 tirerack.com will mount and balance rim/tire packages for free as well, and they will always have the superior tire selection. Its the rims they tend to lack in, but take a look.

 The kdw's are an ok tire, I've never been a big fan. They have soft sidewalls since they are marketed more for the V8 guys. For his budget and his use I'd rather have him go with the ASX's, if he wants a better performing summer tire then the SPT, and if wants the best handling and performing dry traction tire than the Falken 615's.

Put since he's on a budget and he wants to do 18's then the ASX's will be fine. On a side note you should go trought discounttiredirect.com and see if they have any wheels that you might like. I've always gone trough discount, even if it means spending a few more bucks since companies like tire rack and edgeracing.com can't even offer the same, same-day, services as discount. Last month I purchased a set of 615's in 225/45/17, with mounting and balancing and 4 tire hazard coupons it totalled out to be $630.00 They ended up having a special that day and two of the coupons where free.
