Default Tire research finished, but still need help

I have factory polished aluminum 18s from the factory and i was wanting a slightly wider tire. I was thinking in the 255-260 range when the time came. But i have not had very much luck finding what i am looking for. I am looking for:
Better than stock (go figure)
All season - no summer
wider than 235 but no larger than 275
I know this is old but all i could really find was stuff for 17s.
Thanks

Lance has the right idea. That size is perfect.

+1 thats the the size I'll go with oncemy stockersare done. Although I'm more likely to stick with the same tire and just change the size.

The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S are pretty badass. Hard to go wrong with those if you are looking for something other than a summer tire. I live in Texas so I don't really give a crap about it, but having lived in Ohio I know the pain of winter driving. I kept the stock wheels and tires in case I ever wanted to get a set of winter tires mounted on the stock wheels if I move north again.
