Wala kasi available na 255/50r18 or even 245/50r18 na gulong dito sa pinas eh, lahat na ata ng store/brand tinanong ko na... Tsaka i cant go with a tire thats too small kasi yung Tribute 29" diameter ang stock tire size, hinahabol ko yung same size para accurate parin speedometer. Masyado na ba talaga makapal ang 255/55r18 for an 18x8 rim?

Pede naman as long ndi sasayad or rub against the mud guards. Try mo sa Minerva tires. I know they have a branch in Alabang, not sure in Manila. Usually meron sila lahat ng brands, you can order as well. What you can do is try out the 255/55 18, move the steering(sagad mo) to test if there's no rubbing. If the looks are ok with you... then get em

Medyo makapal nga yun 255/55 if "sporty looks" are considered. But I'd rather get thicker tires mainly of the side wall protection and comfort... but that just me hehe
