Default New Tires

Hey guys, Ive had these tires on my 18x8.5 Neeper Shadows and I ordered them as a package deal so the tires they gave me were 225/40 zr falken tires..they were alright at first but after about 6 months one of the tires on the back passenger side practicaly blew off...i had no tire in the middle of my rim it was terrible..luckily i got a new tire but the **** happened again at the beach about a yr after i got the new tire...Falkens are pieces of **** so I was wondering if you guys could give me some opinions on new tires and sizes I should get. Ill most likely get 225/40s on the front but im debating on getting bigger tires on the back...but if i do what size would be a good idea to get?? Also in tire brand Im deciding between Nitto nt 555's, Toyo Proxes T1-s's, Yokohama Avs sport's, Pirelly pzero's...or any other brand or kind of tire between these brands. Im not really in tune with tires so I thought id ask my fellow clublexus members to gimme some help on picking out the right tires that wont leave a bad taste in my mouth after Ive put them on my GS. All your opinions and past experiences with some of these tires will be surely appreciated.
Thanxx

That's strange it happened to you twice. I have the Falken GR FK451's and have no problems with them so far. I Know the Bridgestone SO-3's are not as grippy as the SO-2's, IMO If your choice is between the Nitto's and the Toyo's, get the Toyo's, I heard good reports from guys who has them.
