more than likely. I love how my Hankooks stretched and they're reasonable in price too. Quality is up to par with the big names too. I'm sure with 18s you'll pay even less.

hankooks tend to bubble if you dont monitor tire pressure
achilles runs small and stretches pretty good like JBF said but you get what you pay for
federals are good also but runs large

V12s have been the best I've tried so far: decent price, clean stretch, good noise level. Of all the tires that I've tried, V12s are the ones that haven't given me a problem yet.
