215 and 225/40/18 are a little tall.
Why not a Michelin PSS in 205/40/18 (stock size)?

If you're sold on 215/40/18, also consider the
Conti ExtremeContact DW (light, comfortable, and great in the rain,
and no slouch in the dry) and the BFG G-Force Sport Comp-2 (heavier,
a little stiffer, good all around UHP tire).
