I had to replace mine due to damage when I ran over a bunch of sharp objects. The only tires I could find that were the same size were the ones that came on it. Don't rememebr the price but I am at around 25k since then and the tread is looking a bit low to me.
 






Current Tire Rack.COM prices for 235/65 18....

$134 goodyear eagle LS BLACKWALL
$158 michelin cross terrain blackwall
$168 michelin cross terrain white letter
$163 pirelli scorpion SNOW
$182 DUNLOP GRAND TREK BLACKWALL

Personally i think the eagle LS is crap. Two of my prior cars came with them.
 






Go to a 255/60/18, which is the same 30" diameter basically. I didn't like the handling or wet performance of my 265/60/18's I bought first. Those were Geolander 052's, highly reviewed. I wasn't impressed at all, this time I chose Pirelli Scorpions, many have liked them. I don't have enough time with them to know much yet. The ride is fine though for the size, I prefer to keep the series up above 50-55 for better ride quality. Good luck,
