tires

I'am thinking about putting 255-55-18 tires on the rear, I don't think there should be any problems, does anyone have this size?. I can buy a better tire buy doing this.

I run the BFG 255/55-18 KDW2, only problem it would cause is that your speedo would be off and read slower than what your actually going but if you have a Xcal2 flash device you can just adjust your revs per mile. I've gotten more mileage on mine than I did with the set of OEM rear tires so to me their a better buy. Sadly they don't make them anymore so here are some other choices.

The 255-55-18 size works well on the rear and does not cause any problems with traction control. IIRC your speedo will be off by about 1 mph when you are driving 60 mph. Do some searching and you can find what brands members here like in that size. Also search for "tire matrix" for more info on sizes - someone complied a very nice spreadsheet a while back.
