Default What tires should I get?

I am getting the new Chrome Fr500 18" Rims and am wondering what tires I should get. I want an affordable tire like the Sumitomos that MT offers at $167.00. Are Sumitomos and the HTR Z II the best bang for your buck out there for performance tires or is there a better company? I want to try to stay around 167.00 and would maybe like to make it cheaper. Also, I was at my local Goodyear and the guy there said that getting DeepDish rims in the back was a bad idea. Mainly because you can't rotate your tires. Is this true?

Thanks for the help!!!

No you won't be able to rotate your tires with the 18x10's in the rear.

Those are the same tires I have and I like them alot.Hard to beat for the price.I paid more for the ones I have!!You will have a very hard time finding any cheaper than that with free shipping too.
