235/35/18 or 225/4018

I need some new tires up front. I am currently running 225 40 and I am getting a deal on a pair of 235 35 18. Are there any major disadvantages of running 235 35?

You can use the link below to show the dimensional differences as well as what it will do to your speedometer reading.
Ride comfort will depend on tire construction, but will likely be stiffer as there is less between you and the road.

Both are really wussy sizes IMHO, but if your avatar is your car and you are running wider wheels I can see your dilemma...roll your fenders and run 245/40s!!
