I did a search of Tire Rack tires and they list ZERO performance all season radials in 225/45R18. And that includes regular all the way up to ultra high performance tires.

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
