I like my stock Bridgestones, they are wearing well. Tramlining sucks though.

Are you looking for summer tires or all seasons?

keep the proper rolling diameter: 225/40-18 up front, 255/40-18 in the rear.

Front size does not matter since the speedometer is linked to the rear wheels.



Now as far as sizing for the rear you can get away with a 245/40R18 if you want more options for the rear with better prices. And don't worry about the overall diameter because the 245/40R18 is not that much shorter from the 255/40R18 so it won't throw off your speedometer too much.
