Default 18 inch tires, chicago.
Hey guys, I just ordered a set of 4 18 inch rims, I'm not sure which tires I should get. I'm not looking for the best sport performance tires out there since most of the time weather in the chicago area is not that friendly, but I want something thats pretty low profile maybe 235. I guess I'm looking for a tire that will give me sporty performance and rain performance also. I will be using stock 16s for the winter ofcourse.

The rims are 18 X 7.5 with +40mm offset. how do the 245's look? do they still give of a low profile look?
