depends on how low your car is and how aggressive the wheel setup is. Most ppl run a 245/35-20 and 275/30-20 but i'm running a 245/35-20 and a 285/30-20...

the yokohama advans that come with the GS430 18's are AWFUL. do not buy them. the road noise is unbearable. if you do a search online at tirerack or discount tire, a lot of 06 GS owners complained of road noise as well. i plan on swapping them out this summer w/ michelin pilot sports, but it's such a waste since i have a ton of tread life left. but i can't take it any longer.

245-35-20 and 275-30-20 are what I have. I love these Toyo T1R tires. Ive put about 10k miles on the tires and hardly any treadwear due to negative camber in the front. Rears have a bit of camber wear but by the looks of them I can get hopefully 25k miles out of these tires at least.

I have had toyos in the past, and I loved them. They were quiet, and felt just like stock. I had some 19's. I think toyo's are as good as it gets. They are not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I had some Nitto's, and it felt and sounded like I was driving a steam roller.
