You are absolutely correct they don't make the S-Drive in a 225/40 but most of us don't like running those smaller 225s on our front ends so we run the 245/35s which allow our coupes to handle better. TireRack has the S-Drives rated as the 3rd best high performance tire available slightly behind Michelin's and Goodyears....not by much....both my neighbors are using them without any issues.

i agree, if you really want the sdrives, go with the wider tires. better handling and you get the tires you originally wanted. but i do love my hankook v12s

I have Nitto Invo

275/35/18 and 295/35/18

And they have great traction in rain, much more than all season tires I had before.

(im pretty sure those are the sizes anyway)
i was looking at this exact same tire on tires-easy but i noticed that the speed rating was only up to 106mph on the 255's....btw do you have the OEM 19's?

i think that might have been a typo cause i see that tire rated as 100Y which means it supports 1764lbs and 186mph.

and yes, i have stock 19" rays

i have the nitto invos 245/40/19 and 275/35/19, i dont know what everyone else is saying here, but they're great in rain, they grip well regardless, but of course, they're best when its nice out.
