from experience, i find 225 40 18 to handle the best. i am currently running 234 40 18 but they seem to catch any imperfection in road surface.

225/40/18's here too from previous Newage cars. But FFS don't buy sh*te ditchfinders. The tyres are important and at this time of the year potential life savers.
