If moving to an 18" a 235/40-18 would be your best fit, 255/35-18 is also pretty popular. Any type of tire (all season, summer, track use, etc) you're after?

"All-Season" and "does really well in the snow" isn't going to happen; "All-season" and "is acceptable in the snow" is fine, but you won't match snow tires in the snow

I have Continental DWS and they do fine in the snow if you're not doing stupid things with them

tirerack.com has some decent deals if you are willing to put in the work to search. However with those you are typically left to get them mounted/balanced yourself.

Do yourself a favor and don't go cheap on tires. Also stay away from all seasons. Buy a quality snow tire and a quality summer tire.

Best all season for that range, or a tad over, would be Conti's DWS. That's a fav all season option amongst EVO owners. Any of the tires under that price wise would really take a step down on the all season side in comparison.
