I have them in 245/40/18 and 285/35/18. They seem to handle what I'm throwing at them pretty well and didn't cost an arm and a leg to buy. No complaints on my end.

i was hoping for a answer like that . how bout noise? my gf has kumho 275/35/18s all the way around and they hum HORRIBLY. hoping these sumi's would be pretty quiet

i want to run a 18x9 and a 18x10. i think a 265/35 front and a 285/35 rear would fit the bill. do you think either of them will have that stretched look ( like the tire is too smal for the wheel ) ? 'cause i really do not want that

thanks again for the input, much appreciated

I had them in the 245/45/17 size and they did alright. They got louder as the miles wore on. My big complaint was that they didn't handle rain too good after 50% wear.

Not much rain here in Georgia, plus we don't have the really bad rain storms like out in Mississippi when I used those tires the most.

I've found better tires for rain: BFG KDW and Khumo 712.

I don't think I'd buy them again, unless they came on a new set of wheels. Seeing my next set of wheels will probably be as a combo deal, I would then use the tires until worn out.

Honestly, my exhaust is too loud to notice any tire noise, so I can't really give you an answer about that. I'd say a 265 would work on a 9" wheel. I have a 245 on my 18x9 wheels and they don't look stretched, but they still don't quite fit right. The 285 looks perfect though.

Here's a couple pics that show the tire size on the wheel. You can see the lip sticks out farther than the sidewall on the front tires, but the rears are perfect.

I also have them in 275/40R17 on the front, and have no complaints so far, but I only put maybe 3k miles on them so far.
