Sure, but all the tires you mentioned are either inferior compared to something like a Hankook RS2 or Falken 615, or cost way too much.

Do the BFG KDW2's come in 245/40? That's one that might be a good choice for a summer tire. Or hell, you can got w/ those in a 255, I know Phil did and it fit, but I'm not sure how much those things cost.

Frankly, I'd look into the 235/40 Hankook RS2's... they're a great affordable tire (although they look like they're slightly inferior to the RT-615), and they've got the gearing advantage of a smaller overall diameter (not that you really need that). All in all, you'd hardly miss that extra cm at only $110/tire!
