    Mate you'll wanna go the other way. 50-55 is narrower. You wanna go 235/40/18, which is a wider tyre

    no 45 is the hight of the sidewall its 45% of the width so 50's or 55's if they make one in 235 is more sidewall height
    I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong

    yeah as stated above the middle number is the sidewall size as a percentage of width. bigger sidewalls can help slightly with ride and also grip apparently. But if you change tyre specs from the ones you have now and increase the sidewall height you will muck up your speedo and odometer etc.
