Seems like a big tire up front for the stock rim.
The 275 is the same diameter as the GY runflats, but the 305/19 is about a 1/2" samller. Originally I was thinking of using the smaller 265 upfront with 305 rear to maintain the same relative diameter. Maybe I'll rethink that if you're not having any ABS issues.
NT05 is available in the 275/35/18. might be a front option to go with R888s on the back.

The ratio is important, there's been many threads about it. Too bad the search on this site has never been right since tne update months ago.

You won't have ABS issues but you'll get "drag control active" and perhaps "active handling active" issues if you don't maintain the proper ratio. I get Active Handling Active with my 275 shorter drag radials and friends have had the drag control by going with smaller 305's.
