I had 225-40-18 912's on 18x8 and I loved the gentle curve I had, But I didnt keep those wheels for long so I cant talk about tire wear but they gripped reallly well.
This is what a 225/40/18 on a 18x10 falken 912 looks like (my car) The 512's kind of sink in more at the sidewall area as opposed to the 912's just kind of gently curving up. I would personally ruin 452's over 912's any day... I've run all three..
I just bought some Falken Sincera SN211's for my 03 VUE for $450 installed. 80K Warranty. Pretty good if you don't need performance tires.
Tires - I almost forgot! The Toyo tires were fine. Like any street tire, they got a bit greasy near the end of a 20 minute track session. Otherwise, no issues.
If you want the best of both worlds, get Toyo T1R's. They are an all around amazing tire. They stretch great and perform well in wet and dry conditions. My car has never felt more \"sure footed\" than when i had 195-45 T1R's on my 15x8's.
The tires I had on my 20th were recalled because of some side wall crakcing that caused them to leak air and les schwab sold me a set of 225/40/18 Toyo somehting or other for $312 out the door because of the hassle I went through with the recalled set I bought from them.
I ran a set of the Falkens on my last Jetta. I drive aggressively and I ate them up faster than they spun. I believe they were the ZE 912s. The hydroplaning resistance wasn't as great for me and I could break them out of traction without too much effort.
