Default radial + nail = NEED NEW TIRES. help..

ohh. the damn nitto caught a smallllll thin nail. =/ i need to buy a new rear tire now. i might as well get two.

should i stay with the nitto 555r 285x35x18? or should i go with some bfg radials or some pilot sports? toyos? if i end up switching the rears to something other than nitto.. should i switch the fronts? (nitto 555's 255x35x18s.)

or should i focus on switching my 18x9 rim to an 18x10 (or 10.5?) and getting a bigger set of tires? does the rim difference really make much? its a weekend driver, not a track car but i need traction.

if you drive on your 17's you should be fine if your worried about how it looks just put the 18's out back the tire size with the 17 and the 18 and tire is almost the same mileage wise. Then just order your tires get them mounted and your good to go
