Need tire help
Have an opportunity to get some 295/45/18 Goodyear F1 GS tires for what seems like a good price
Are these a decent tire? And would they be much of an upgrade from the Nexxens I'm running right now?

A 295/45-18 is a 28.4" tire. Its barely going to fit in the wheel wells and will jack the car up like a 4x4. Your stock tires were either 25.6" (245/50-16) ot 26.1" (235/55-16). You really don't want a tire that large on a 4th Gen. It will slow it way down, and make it feel like you swapped your 3.73's for a set of 3.36's.

I was actually thinking they may be too big
What would be the optimal size?
I'm running 275/35/18 Nexxen 3000s on all four right now
(I'd like to get some lighter wheels at somepoint down the road maybe too, but these look nice for now)
