Default 235/40ZR18/RF BFG KDW NT. However, would be better to also use...
8.5 in rear to allow tire rotation. I have BFG KDW NT and have rotated them every 5,000 miles. At 20K they have 50% tread depth remaining to the wear bar. 40 psi front, 37 psi rear. Mostly highway miles. Great in the California monsoon season this year. A little bit more noise than I would like, but I turn up the radio volume...

Default Falken 451 in 235/40/18 is also a nice tread pattern for the wet...
UTOG is 280 vs 300 for the BFG KDW NT. Tread pattern is similar to original Pilot Sports, but they only have 220 UTOG so would wear faster than either BFG or Falken.

I have looked at Michelin and Bridgestone, but do not like UTOG and prices.

I will probably try Falken 451 for my TT's next shoes.
