Ah, the "joys" of the pothole-laden NYC roads in the winter. This is why for the winter, I am rolling on 18 inch wheels with 45 series tires. Using 45s on 18 in wheels is one size taller than the recommended 40 series tire size but they still fit and offer noticeably better ride comfort and pothole protection.

Looks like you took a chunk out of your wheel too - sucks big time!
Presume you're looking for 245/40x18s ?? You should note and confirm so anyone who might have a usable replacement for you can reply.
