I'm looking at running 225/40/18 in this rubber. Comments would be appreciated.

Look at 'wear rating' and speed rating...what you have OEM is Y. Fairly high wear rating which translates into a somewhat harder (less tacky) compound...yes this wear rating system has lots to be desired but 300 is far cry from 220 or 180. Now the next comments are what I have heard from those who have the tires...look great but are not the handlers of a AVS, Toyo TS-1, and a few others. If it is handling you are looking for then suggest looking elsewhere...looks and day to day driving then OK.

Go for bridgestone S-02's or Yok AVS sport... paradas all show and no go

Avoid Ultra high performance category... go with "Max" performance tires Utqg of 140-160

I've been using these for about 8000 miles, very loud, but great in rain.

And I think the Firestone Firehawk at the top of the list is the Potenza RE730 with a slightly different tread pattern, if my source at Bstone is to be beleived.
