An 18 with 40 sidewall definitely feels a bit number all things considered. In my case, I tried to balance this out with some better tires to bring some life back (Potenza Race, Cup 240, etc.), but you definitely lose some magic going to a taller sidewall.

I will say tho, if you plan to daily the car, a 40 sidewall is actually a big improvement in comfort. It was larger than I expected and makes spirited driving on less than ideal roads more fun, since the car feels less unsettled mid corner when encountering bumps.
