I like the 245/40 more because it has less speedo error (but I know people will say 1.3% vs 0.3% isn't really an issue) and because I kind of like the meaty tire look. But I'm worried a 245/40 is too much tire for stock power. 225/45 is cheaper, and judging by this thread and other stuff I've read, there is a such thing as too wide on tires, so skinnier is better on stock power.
What are you doing with the car? Daily driving? Competitive racing? A mix of both?
