No good tire is going to be cheap in the 18" sizes. I'm planning on 265/35-18 for the front and 295/35-18 in the rear. the BFGoodrich Drag radial is popular for the 315/30-18 size but they're around $250 a pop and dont last long. As of now I'm planning on the BFGoodrich KDW2s all around, they are sick :pimp2:

Local place, they were BFG KDW type 2's, or whatever, the nifty looking one's. Mounted and balanced with road hazard warrantee, I'm pretty happy with them and the price.

275 might be a bit wide for the front. i have 245/45 up front (18X9), and BFgoodrich drags 315/30 in the back(18X10.5).
the rears were $550 for the pair off tire rack, the fronts are some bridgestone tire i got from work (firestone).

i have 255/40 (17") fuzion zri's all around and i got them along with a lifetime rotate, balance and alignment for $390



i also got a buddy who is running 315/40's in the back and 275/40's up front. the backs are fine but if you turn the wheel all the way to the right or left it hits the inside

Well yes, any wider tire will do that, more rolling resistance. I don't think it's anything you'll notice between a 265 and a 275. Now you will notice it between a 235 and either a 265 or 275.
