Normally, if you use Nero and the software has to burn slower due to the media, you will get a message. The only other time I've seen this with Nero was when it wasn't a full version of Nero. One of the limitations of an OEM version, for example, is that it won't let you burn to full maximum.
Have you given one of these CDRs to your mates to see if they get the same problem ?

Just because they rate them at 40X does not mean that your drive does. You could try updating your firmware, as most updates seem to focus on media compatibility.
Use the Lite-On smart burn util to see what any media is rated at.

I had the same prob with some Verbatim DataLifePlus that were rated at 48x. I could only burn at 8x, 12x, and 16x. I also bought some Verbatim ValuLife 32x and I could only burn at 24x, no lower.
