Tire rack is suggesting 225/14-18 and 255/40-18.


What differences would I see and feel between the two sizes if anything?

TIA for all your wheel/tire guru expertise!

The OE size should be 225/45-18 and 255/40-18

But the ones you're looking at will most likely be my choice as well.
They will reduce your diameter by ~0.6" from OE spec.
I think thats fine as long as you do both front & rear. (should keep DSC happy)
Also, a benefit is a minor total gearing advantage.

Negative is that the car will record a few extra miles on the ODO & speedo will read slightly faster.
