Quick question
It was suggested to me to go 255/35/18, and 225/40/18. Can someone explain what the reasoning is for using both 35 and 40 series tires? Wouldn't that technically make the front sit higher than the back?

Hey Jim, I want to run 215/40/18 on my new front rims since they are slighty aggressive offset. The best fit I found was the Dunlop FM901, but then the ratings are bad on those. So I looked at the Kumho 712s, Ive always liked these tires on my last car. Then I noticed the 225/40/18's section width is only 8.2". Which is pretty small for a 225, the same model 215 is even wider than that. So I want to make sure that's not a typo on the website?
Also, for this kind of set up with 245/40/18 in the rear. What other tires would you recommend? I don't want to go over 600 bucks for the whole set, and I want decent wet traction summer tires.
