I am looking to replace the above tires for the rear of the 928 which has
11"x18" wheels. The current tires wore out very quickly, which of the following
will last longer and still perform well. I'd prefer something that has a little
more sidewall and more tread width, these are the only options I can come up
with. Only 1 has a wider tread width, and 2 of them have more sidewall.
Any other choices you maybe aware of or places to look? I used TireRack and

you need to be looking at the profile as well as the width and wheel size.
for an 18x11" wheel tyre sizes are likely to be :-
265/35/18 - a bit narrow for an 11" wheel
295/30/18
305/30/18
maybe a 315/30/18 although that may be pushing the wheel wells a bit.
any thing bigger than a 35 profile tyre is going to make your 928 look like a
4x4.
toyos are good tyres and you should find you can get the T1R which is reputed to
be even better than the T1S.
