Re: what size tires?
the middle number should measure how tall the walls of the tires are.

Re: what size tires?
a 225/40/18 is 8.86" wide with a 3.54" sidewall making it 25.08" tall. Stock is 25.7 so not only are they not wide enough but not tall enough. Go with a 245/40/18. They are 9.65" wide with a 3.86" sidewall making it 25.72" tall.

Re: what size tires?
first number is the width of the tire, second number is the aspect ratio (how tall the sidewall is, as a % of the width), 3rd number is the rim size.
oh yea, and the letter in there is the speed rating. yea, just look at the tirerack link Igo posted...

Re: what size tires?
Always go with "Z" rated IMO... Always worth it!
