Front tire to use with 18x9.5/18x12 Forgestar F14
Getting close to finish my dyno(waiting on my new crankcase venting setup) i now know that i ll be over 700wph (stopped @ 681whp without meth yet).Currently running stock Alcoa with 275/40/17 front and 295/35/18 rear BFG KDW2 and yes they are bad and so noisy.So i want a better rear footprint and better tire.
If i ever succeed my Forgetsar F14 order i ll be in need of a good tire setup.I would really like to run some Michelin Pilot sport PS2 since its a very good tire dry/rain and really quiet.
Rear would be really easy:18x12 super deep concave with : 335/30/18
But the front is bugging me a bit.The PS2 arent made in 275/35.They only make 265/40/18.
If i do some number check up with the stock size 265/40/17.The 265/40/18 is the same width and Sidewall Height.
But the diameter and circum is 3.9% bigger.

So would it be ok with this size or i should choose another brand of tire with a closer size tire ???
Thanks
