I see you are not in the US, I was giving you the 2 best options within your budget, assuming you were in the US, I have no idea what's the price for tires over where you are, sorry.

Well prices are around the same as in the US, but we have almost all major brands here such as Yokohama, Dunlop, Kumho, bridgestone.

nevermind, I was talking about stock size, I see you have bigger tires, hence more expensive...

If you can splurge a little, try the Continental ExtremeContact DW.

If they are out of your range, which most good tires are, then try the Hankook V12 EVO.

Or even the Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport are a real nice tire.

Those are probably your 3 best optoins.

^^ this guy makes a point with a couple tire recommendations, on top of those id recommend the nitto nt05, general exclaim uhp, yokohama s drive, or even the sumitomo htrz3s are good, whats gonna mess with what you wanna spend is the tire size, 2354018 isnt common size, if you want the price to drop go to a 245 40 18, thats a common size, and its only 10mm wider across the tread, so it wont rub. but youll notice even on tire rack how much price on it goes down for each tires...those are my recs, make sure you put into your budget for an alignment too, worse thing you can do is buy tires, have camber or toe off and burn through them fast, oh and also buy the road hazard protection too.

The Hankook V12's, Conti DW, and Kumho XS are the top three I'd look at.
