It (245/45/18) will slow you down because it's too tall and heavy.

245/35/18 is the proper size. It should weigh the same or less as the 235/40/18 (of the same model/brand of tire), but have a larger contact patch.

Can't comment on the firestone tires compared to the MPSS. I have only used the Michelins.
