Default Tire Size Options ???

Are there any other tire size options for the standard base model? My 07 has 245/40/18's on the front and 285/35/19's on the rear.

It seems tire slections in these sizes are rather slim in pickings....

Don't want to compromise the width (if anything a little wider is fine) nor make them look like a ghetto glider either. Just some sizes with just minor variations.

What else fits the standard wheel -

I just put 275/35/18 on the front and 305/30/19 on the rear in the Hankook V12s.
Huge improvement in the steering feel with the wider front wheels. Less push at maximum traction and better feedback through the steering wheel with the wider front tire.
These are on stock wheel sizes

PS they absolutely blow away the stock run-flats.
