But with 18 it's hard to find reasonable mix of front/rears. For example I haven't seen 295/35-18 that can go with 265/35-18 fronts.
I have run 265/35/18 NS2R and 295/30/18 AR1. Car is much more neutral and less prone to steer from the rear. Almost too much as trail braking has less of an effect.

I put it down to the compound delta more than the tire size. I would just readjust the rear rideheight to keep the same rake as before.

Trofeo R can be ordered, but there's a 4 month wait, or pay double for air shipping.

285/30-19 cup 2 zp are available however. These are runflats. Not sure if 265/30-19 non run flat and 285/30-19 runflat cup2s can be mixed.

Thats a shame . Could be worth a try, dont think the tires will be that disimilar.
