Thanks for the comments.

Richard, I'm using yokos AVS Sport V102 tyres. 245/40/18 on the front and 285/35/18 on the rear. The rear tyres have a diameter 2mm larger than the front so they're basically the same height. I did alot a research b/w different tyre makes from independant sources (gotta love the web) and from what I could discern I think the AVS will offer a very reasonable cost/grip/wear compromise. Time will tell.
