you dont need 285/40, just get 275/40s. most specialty tires wont come in unusual sizes like 285/40...

Whatever you do dont get Goodyear Eagle RS/A's. I work at Goodyear and we just had a major recall on these tires. The 245/45 R18's came stock on all '05 and '06 maximas, and ALL of these tires have come back defective with MAJOR cracks running the complete diameter of the inner and outer sidewalls. Some even causing blowouts at moderate highway speeds. Thats not the only size though, we've gotten back defective tires in all sizes of the RS/A's. We make really good tires, but theres just something wrong with these in particular.
