I got a set of Falken RT615's in a 245/40/18 a few thousand miles back and I would say they are fantastic summer performance tires. I'm using them as daily drivers here in CA where it never really goes below 40 degrees and they're great. A bit slick on cold mornings though, but nothing to worry about. the 245 aspect makes it really hard to curb your wheels too.

the correct sizing or close very close is. 225 / 45 / 18 or 245 / 40 /18.

this is a 245 40 18 on a 18 x 8 inch wheel. on the left in the back is a set of kumho spt in the same size...

I have 2 Pirelli Pzero Rosso tires, they are 235/40/18 (perfectly fine size to run on your 8). They are both in very good condition with about 8-9/32's of tread. They are like $250 each new and i only want $100 for both. Pm me if interested.

uh that's not that great of condition

Tirerack just dropped the price of Kumho Ecsta SPTs in 225/45-18 to $89 per tire. Great tire if you're on a budget.
