Rear 245/45/18
I'd like a wider tire in the rear but I want to remain on the 18 inch rims and I'm also going to go with ALL SEASON tires year round as I think the Dry grip should be just fine.
according to TireRack.com an optional size for the rear is 275/40/18 on my car but it doesn't list an optional size for the front. so my question is do I have to run 225/50/18 and 275/40/18 in the rear?
or
Could I run 245/45/18 in the front and 275/40/18 in the rear. The Tires I'm looking at are the :
Michelin - Pilot Sport A/S Plus
Front 245/45/18
and
Michelin - Pilot Sport A/S Plus
Rear 275/40/18
could anyone offer some input as to whether this would acceptable for my goal of a bit wider tire on the rear, adding an all season tire since I will have to drive this in bad weather on occasional and hopefully the tire will perform well in dry weather. The car won't be tracked and I plan on doing the tires after I get my car back from AAM Competition because they'll have it a few days for some performance mods.
Thanks and I appreciate any advice.

those would be perfect kevin. i ran a 255/45 on my fronts for a bit but a 245/45 on front will be better i think. the 255 was a little over reached on an 8" wide wheel imo. 275/40 works great for the rears. same size i had on my base wheels and transferred them over to my new wheels. i think you'll be extremely happy with the A/S+ a lot of people under estimate them because they are an all season tire but you will be surprised. Also if you have a costco membership, we are doing $70 off a set for Michelins right now.
