A lot of thanks....a little venting

Well, she's mine. A big THANKS to everyone for the advice on purchasing a used box. I bought my 99 box with 30k, 18's, hi fi sterio, trip comp, custom blue leather, and the wind screen. I took all the precautions and she checked out okay and runs like a champ. Only bad news was that it needed one new tire and a rear spark plug tube. My maiden voyage from NJ to Central VA was a ton of fun. Top down at 1 in the morning ....what could be better. (30 mpg)

Here is the kicker. I noticed at around 70 mph the steering wheel was shaking. Took it in to allign the front tires just to make sure and the front right wheel's belt shifted. So now i have to replace two tires.

Time for the question.

Tires:225/40 18 front, 265/35 18 rear P Zero Nero 8/32nds on the front but one bad tire. Left rear needs to go.

Should i replace all 4 or just the two.

If I change all four...any suggestions. The car is my daily and I need a tire that can do it all. I was thinking Pzero M+S or The Kumho all weather.
