I cannot find a decent track tire in 245/45/18.

Trying to find something less expensive than Michelin PSS.

Can you get 275/35/18? That would keep you level front to back while lowering it overall about an inch.

did you look at RE-11's?

cheaper than PSSs and seem to have better grip so far for me.

i changed from PSSs to RE-11s and love them.

as for your sidewall issue most people have beat me to it.

if you take the size difference from F to R out of a certain percentage then the traction control light will stay on constantly as well.

my F/R are 265/35/19 - 305/30/19 and they are bang on identical overall diameters. 26.3" i believe.
