New Michelin rear tires for 996 C4 cab...
My rear Michelin PSS tires are down to the wear bars and need to be replaced this spring. I also find the current size (275/35R18) a little small for the rim width (11"). While researching the different sizes that would fit, I learned that the rear tires should be slightly smaller than the fronts in order to play well with the AWD system. The problem I am finding is that my current setup (F: 235/40R18, R: 275/35R18) does not meet this requirement and, Michelin does not make Pilot Super Sport tire in 285/30R18, or 295/30R18...
Are there any other Michelin models that would work with the front PSS in a larger size?
Thanks.

How will the sightly different tread pattern affect handling? Any knowledge of other customers who have done this? Thanks.
