it all depends on what your idea of expensive is. What's the most you want to pay per tire?

here's what was recomended
Front Optional 18" 245/40-18
Rear Optional 18" 275/35-18
that will probably be what's required to keep the speedo accurate.
and I never had to pay taxes with them they are based in IN so why would LA have to pay taxes?

I have seen various sizes listed in places that people have put on those. Partly it depends on how much tire you want. Maybe go to a garage that sells tires, and ask their opinion.

See if you can get a smaller tire for the front. The rear's should fit in nicely though...

Any particular reason you got such big rims?
