285/35/18 REARS
I recommend the Nitto NT555 for the price and the higher tread wear compared to others.

You will be fine, i had some 285/35zr18's on the back for a while.

Les Schwab has a "no name" brand called Ventus, looks similar to a BF Goodrich tread style. you can pick up some 285/35's for about 135-145 a piece, and you will still get good wear outta them.
