Tire question for 18s in the front...

Ok I am going to an Autocross this weekend and I still have my crappy Kuhmo's on the front and my SWEET michelin PS2's in the rear....i really want to get the same ps2s for the front because i know they will be A LOT better handling wise....they are the factory turbo twist 18s and i was just wondering if anyone suggests using a different size tire than the 225/40/18??? And anyone have a great place to get tires for cheap???? Thanks guys!!

go w stock size. some use 235 in front but that limits ur selection and wont yield much change.

4391...you can't expect performance from mis-matched tires, IMO it is downright dangerous and a good way to get your P-car to handle like a chevy nova...get the ps-2s for the front
