Default tires for oem 18's

It's about time to get some new rubber for my stock 18's (or upgrade my wheels!) and I am noticing that the front tire size (225/50 18) is tough to come by. I spoke to someone at Discount Tire who is recommending I switch to a 225/45 18 in the front so that I can purchase the Hankook V12's. I know these are really good tires from the forum feedback but is it safe to down size my side wall? Are there any ride or safety issues I will experience from doing so? What do most people on here do for a summer or all season tire (im in FL) once the POS oem tires need to be replaced? Thanks in advance.
