18" tire question on my Z4

I just bought a great set of 189 wheels for my Z. 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear. The recommended sizes for those rims are 225/40/18 and 255/35/18.

I am also condsidering the Z4M sizings of 225/45/18 and 255/40/18. These tires are about 1" in diameter larger, will fill the wheel well up slightly more, and offer a slightly better ride. Plus the 40 series tires will come with a treadlife warranty. I am looking at the Hankook Ventus S1 Noble 2.

Other than the speedo, any reason not to go with the meatier tires?

Thanks,

Jim
