    Nice set up Mesojdm! I feel ya on the tire stretching, I have the same problema on my ride too, but maybe on my second set of tires, i will get a bigger size (from 215 to 225)

    I think the 235/40/18 would likely correct the 1-2mph speedo error and would fit an 8-9.5" wheel.

    What's nice is they make two LRR tires in this size. I'm not sure if the extra width cancels the LRR benefit though.

    Michelin Primacy MXM4 (All-Season)
    UTQG=500 A A, 51psi, 9/32, 22lbs, 819, $155

    Pireli P6 Four Seasons (All-Season)
    UTQG=400 A A, 50psi, 11/32, 23lbs, 818, $162

    There is only one LRR tire in the 225/40/18 size according to TireRack.com

    Continental ContiTouringContact CW95
    UTQG=360 A A, 51psi, 10/32, 23lbs, 827, $196
