looking to get 275/45/18 to replace my stock tires on my base model. anyone try this yet?

tire rack has these in conti dw for 275/45/18 $100 each! vs $165 for the 275/40/18.

if i get the 275/45/18, i would get 235/50/18 for the fronts. = $564
vs
275/40/18 245/45/18 = $694
----------------
$130 savings
but speedo would be off a little and a little higher center of gravity

Too bad the 275/40's were not on sell. You would be set.

235/275 would have been too much stagger anyways.
