Brad,
I own a 2000 BMW M Coupe, and recently I sent a message to Rudy @ Kumho
regarding the 235/40-17 size for the fronts. Here's what he has to say:
Karl,
Sorry for the late reply. I have been out of the office.
Yes, Kumho will be offering a 235/40-17 sometime late-April or early-May.
This
should improve the handling balance with the 255's on the rear. Thanks for
using
Kumho tires!

So that's good news!!!!! It will be a better match with my current rear
(244/40-17) than what I am currently running up front (225/45-17).

Thanks. I was hoping for a 235/40-17 or 245/40-17, but it looks like no
such luck.
