This is what I have on the rear:
I'm sure it would make sense for the grip of all four tires to match. Does this even happen when the fronts are thinner than the rears? I tried to find the exact match for the rears, but they were out of stock everywhere this side of Canada. So I went with what you see above.

Also try 245/40-18 for the front, they work great with your rears and give you another size for availablility.

They are close, but do differ quite a bit in performance level and compound. You may have a split personality during aggressive driving and on wet roads. I wouldn't push them too hard until you get a chance to put another pair of Comp-2's on the car. Thanks for the order!
