Default 235-40-18 vs 235-45-18 tires

I've had 235-40-18 tires on my car every since I've had it but now that it's time for a new set, I'm thinking of going with a 45 series tire, mainly for a softer and quieter ride.

Has anyone else done this change and how was the difference?

Default put 17's on man

otherwise you will sacrifice handling (sidewall height) and throw the odometer off (can be tweaked some).

45's would probabl look like a maxima tire height wise. It makes the rims look alot smaller.

in which case you should have stuck with a 235-45-17 to begin with

I hear ya on the 40's rough for your bum

either try an all season tire with softer sidewall, or maybe go with 245/40/18s.

That's a good suggestion, and probably won't look as goofy as 45 series tires.
