Any opinions or suggestions welcome!
Decide which is more important, the performance or the day-to-day livability.

The Yokohama A052 in 235/40-18 has an 8.8" tread width vs. the RE-71R's 8.0" in the same tire size, and that's wider than the PS4S' 8.4". This is a comparison test from last year of the A052 vs. the RE-71R (and others):
