Try simply searching on the size and do not specify anything else (like tire type). You'll get about 7-8 hits, IIRC. Interestingly enough, for the same $$ (around $200 each) you can buy the BStone S03, which is a more modern, longer wearing, and all-around higher-performing tire than the RE040's.

The last time I looked, if you get 245/40/18's you can save roughly $40 per tire, depending on the brand you pick (there are more to choose from).

Within the next year, I wouldn't be surprised to see more brands offering the 225/45/18 size, however, simply because that's also the size of the front tires on the G35C and 350Z. More offerings will exert downward pressure on the prices. :D
