507 19" Tire Question
So I have a 507 coupe with 19" wheels. It came with ContiSport 5p tires stock. I would like to upgrade the rear width, but am faced with a delemma. At the rate I am going I will likely burn thru the rears twice as fast as the fronts. There aren't any ContiSport 19" 265/30 or 275/30 (there are 265/35, but I don't think that will work well) so I can either:
1. Buy another rear set of the ConstiSport 255/30 rear tires.
2. Buy some PSS (or RE11) 265/30 or 275/30. I don't like the idea of having mismatched tires, but would like some extra width in the rear. What do others think?
I also noticed that the Contis weight less than Yoko, PSS, or RE11 in any given size how much will this matter?

Buying the stock rear tires until the fronts wear out is the logical thing to do. Really wanted some extra rubber in the rear. Suppose it will be no time until I'm ready for a full set front and rear.
