did you do the alignment when you put the 18's on? I would say don't do it.

I have the same size for winter tire but 17" for summer, I would say you better have to realign the car so you winter tire will wear normally. I have been doing this for 5 years and believe me or not I'm doing my 5th winter with the same set of winter tire, I've did 3 year with my 2k1 and 2 year with my 98.

Cheers
