I stand corrected - 40 is the stock size, didn't read the number correctly this morning...haven't had my Lavazza espresso yet. However, no issues with running 45 vs 40 sidewall. The choice point obviously has to do with your roads and the type of ride you want...a 40 series is going to handle much better around turns, will make the car feel more 'sporty" in its handling.

It's a high performance tire, so it's sticky, great for handling wet or dry, very tight on the corners, and extremely fast on the open road, makes acceleration a snap compared to the 18's...the car gets up to speed so fast with 20's on. The only complaint I have on this model Yokohama is that as you coast to a stop right at 1-2 miles an hour, it gets a bit noisy - so you hear a bit of road noise, but not bad.

If you are shifting roughly then you can produce some sounds that are not ideal...certainly this transmission can be driven smoothly however, and it does "learn" from your driving style. After a bit of practice, you should be able to find that "sweet spot" with the gas pedal that provides you the smoothest and fastest acceleration without any noticeable noise from the transmission.
