Or downsize to 255s in the rear, though I don't know if my desired tires are available in that size over here or in the correct aspect ratio.
Yes, this can result in a lot of searching for specific tire sizes that may or may not exist. At the end of the day, most of us just do the best we can in balancing all of these tradeoffs.
