Im running Bridgestone 225/40/18

I've had 3 different tyres on the car

With 3S-GE:

215/45/17 Avon ZZ3: Last quiet a bit (20k miles) and had good overall grip.

With 3S-GTE:
225/35/18 Toyo Proxes T1-R: The tyres are pretty soft compound and worn after 8000 miles. But this set was only used in the City and only a few (cruising) miles on the Highway. And I'm always in 'Race Mode' Best grip tyre I've had. Cornering is great and tyres never squeek. Only disklike is the 35 wall therefore the next set will be a 225/40/18.
Since the Goodyears are now in the back. My 'rear set' Toyo's are now in front and I've done about 12k miles with them and probably do another 5-6 with them.

225/40/18 Goodyear Eagle GS-D3: Because the local tyre company somehow couldn't deliver the Toyo's in 40 sidewall I ordered the Goodyears. They where compared to the Proxes in many ways by other people who had them. Boy I was wrong. Traction and cornering is a lot worse with these tyres. These went into the back and will stay there untill there fully worn and I will then replace them with the same size Toyo's

But all considered:

I wish I never got 18". Tyre's are more expensive, ride is worse and overall grip/performance could be better with 17". Therefor I'm considering purchasing either:
C-one SA70 rims: 17x8J ET32
Work CR Kai Bronze rims (middle taper): 17x8.5J ET38

But this will not be done untill this tyre set is worn and I finally made up my mind
