What brand of 265/35/18 tire would you recommend to run without rolling fenders
So guys, I recently purchased a set of 18 x 9.5 +22 wheels.. After doing some research, I'm decided to get some 265/35/18 tires. Based on personal experience, amongst all the current tire brands on that size, what brand should I get to be safe without rolling my fenders? I know that some brands run wider than the others...

What are you using the car for?

Bfgoodrich Sport Comp 2's, Bridgestone RE760, and the best but also the most expensive is the Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Pick one of those 3 and you'll be super happy.

That wheel size, and that offset, it doesn't really matter what "size" 265 you put on, its not going to rub. That is a very conservative fitment on the X.

I run 265/35 nt05 and have swift spec r's on the same wheel setup, never rubbed and my fenders aren't rolled, even for auto-x. You might hit the fender liner at full lock but other than that no issues.

Here is what they look like on the same size wheel you have.
EDIT: also, on eibach lowering springs. no rub

Stay away from the cheap off brand tires. Sumitomo, Nexen, Atturo, blah blah blah whatever.

Sumitomo isn't an off-brand and, in my opinion, makes some pretty good tires. No decent competition tires, mind you, but decent street tires. They actually produce the OEM Dunlop car and motorcycle tires in the Japanese market.
The HTR Z III is right in the middle of the pack on TireRack for reviews. Just above the Kumho and just below the Hankook. Probably a really good value, all things considered.
But you're right about Nexen, Sailun, HIFLY, Telstar, etc being unsuitable for an Evo though.
