SO I am looking to get new tires soon and see that there isn't many that make a matching pair of tires for our cars or at least that I couldn't find. What brand is everyone using and did you stay with the Rear - 225/50/18 Front 255/45/18 sizes? Any help would be great.

Try searching for 235/5018 it opens up a few more matching tires.

I was in the same boat as you were about a month ago. I searched Tire Rack and the Potenzas were close to 1000 dollars for all 4 rubbers!! I then looked into the Goodyear F1's. Really sweet tread design but I have read that after a while they tend to howl. Then I came across the Kumhos Ecsta and I gotta say that I LOVE them. Saved me a few hundred compared to the Potenza's and IMO rides better then the Bridge stones as well. I have had the tires for about a month now and I am very pleased with there wet, as well as dry traction performance. I would highly recommend you looking into this tire because it was a blessing in disguise for me. Good Luck!!

Stay clear of the F1's. I have 20kmi on them (front only) and they are down to 2/32 and howl like crazy, but the rear Potenza's still look like new. I'm going to try the Continental ExtremeContact DWS before winter hits, they're pretty new but have good reviews so far.
