What about Yokohama tires for Style 135 Rims in 245 40 R18? I concidered Yokohama ADVAN Sport.

Is it a good choice or would you prefer PS2's?

If money is not an issue, I'd go for PS2
However, PS2 might be $30-50 more per tire compared to Yoko.
Yoko is best for road noise. Yoko is my choice when time to replace my tire and rims.

If you're considering Yokohama's, think about their ADVAN Neova AD07. Supposed to be on-par or even better then the PS2 in terms of grip (if that's what you're looking for).
