i have read the stick on the VDC but i am still a little confused. i have on 04 preformance with OEM 18".
currently i am running 225/45 in the front and 245/45 in the rear.
i am in need of some new tires in the rear but am in kind of a hard spot right now with money.
i found a pair of 255/40/zr18 at a really good deal locally, but im not sure if this tire will throw my VDC off...
looking for some advice if i should pick these up or if i should wait it out and replace the rears with the same size tires?
thanks for the help...

thanks for the fast reply.. the front are fairly new with less then 2k miles on them so i dont see that happening any time soon... i guess i better hold off until i can afford getting the right size.

If the tires are a good deal, buy 'em and mount 'em; those rears will run well within this setup.

David,
I read your message and would like to offer these comments. Of course, any of this is very arguable.
If you go all-square (or near all-square) with a VDC-equipped car:
My comments and advice is based in personal experience running various types and sized tires. I am interested in your comments.

If you go all-square (or near all-square) with a VDC-equipped car:
- Never mount a taller tire on the front than the rear. That always fails with a VDC-equipped car. I believe that you would agree with that statement.
- If you go all-square, you should go with the OEM rear size (overall diameter), and avoid a smaller OD. For example, mount 245/45-18” all-around, but do not mount 245/40-18” all-around. I’m not sure if you agree with this statement.

It's not that Im wanting to run the 255/40 but the tires were a good deal. On the other side of it I don't want to run something that will affect VDC or performance.
Thanks everyone for there post. I also see we have some that say it will work and some that say it won't.
