I don't think you will really notice the decreased turn in and that even if their is any. The only way I think your going to get slower turn in is if the larger tires is to big for the rim or it has a larger side wall. A 255 should be okay on an 8.5 rim especially if i am running a 255 on a 8" rim. In addition if you run a 255/35/18 you have less side wall which should help turn in. I am going off an R888 here because it what I know best but the 255/35/18 is .4 of an inch wider then the 245/40/18. In addition because of the smaller side wall it weighs in at 25.8 pounds compared to the 26 pounds of the 245/40/18. Lastly toyo lists the 255/35/18 as being able to fit on the 8.5 rim. So not only is it wider with less side wall flex but it is also lighter. Seems like a no brainer for me
