I've got an 03 LS with eibach springs- ran 245/40R18's on it until they needed replacing, at which time I ordered some Bridgestone RE760's in 245/45R18. Got them mounted, balanced and installed, immediately had the car aligned. Well, last week pulling into a parking lot while turning, with an incline, the left front tire caught the edge of the fender lip and pulled the lip out. Thankfully no real damage to the car (had to bed the lip back in place). Tire has some superficial cuts in the tread- doesn't go into the structure of the tire at all.
Long story short, I'm pulling these tires off and replacing them with 245/40R18's. They have 250 miles on them- ride and handle great, plus they are quiet! They sell for $664 plus shipping off tire rack, I'm asking for $600 plus shipping, or local pick up (Lansing, Michigan)

Why did I go with larger tires? They are actually much closer in size to OEM than the 40 series and I was hoping it would give me just a touch more ground clearance to prevent bottoming out on speed bumps. They will fit perfectly on a standard suspension w/18" wheels.
