need of non rft tires

hi guys,
i'm lookin for new set of tires but unfortunately it's hard to find a tire set which is not run flat here i hate rft tires cause they are too hard and noisy.
so, i found kumho tires, but the size is 215/40/18, is there anybody use this size in GP ?
i am also thinking to use my coilovers too, any ideas about this issue ?
thanx.

Runflats definitely suck...expensive, heavy, & poor handling relative to non-runflat, so you are making the right decision IMO. Like many others I also run 215/40s, and they work very well on stock GP wheels. Check Sumitomo HTR Z IIIs -- they handle very well in wet & dry, and are about half the price of the other 18s.
