Tire Size for 18x9?
I'm going to be running MRR HR2's in 18x9" and also eibach springs on my GS300, and I'm wondering what is a good fat tire setup for the car? Would 255/45/18 be too big/little? I'd like a bigger sidewall but a good overall tire... doesn't have to be great performance but ride quality is important

You are about an inch taller than you should be on that car...
I'd do 255/40-18 if theres anything available (no time to check right now)
or 265/40-18 would work as well...

THE BAD: Road noise is significantly higher than other tires I have used. It was not a problem for the first 5,000 miles but now road noise is an issue. It isn't too bad with the windows rolled up and the sunroof closed but if I open the sunroof and roll down the windows, it is noisy.
Any suggestion for a tire then that is good wet/dry, and has low road noise? I'm not looking for extreme performance, but this only has to be a summer tire.
