Default 18 X 8.5" rims suck to buy tires for.

Trying to find good grippy tires for these stock bullits really blows. I can't find anything in 235-255 for these rims. Can anyone help.

The BFG's I know are good: my buddy had a set on his Corvette and loved 'em. In fact I just ordered myself some... supposed to come with rims, but there were issues (long story) Regardless, I can't wait to be riding on them soon!! What tread are you going with? I chose the KDW2s...

not too sure what its called but the one with the aggressive/cool looking tread is what I'd go for. Probably not as good on wet roads but I guess I 'd just have to slow down for once.
