Problem solved..... shaved the rear tires 5/32"
The fronts and rears are within 1% now.
If needed I can run a little less tire pressure in the rear to make up for this.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

295-40/20 rear 91.5" circumference
275-40/20 front 90" circumference

1.66% difference between front and back.

This is  about half of the recommended difference recommended by Ford of 3%

No worries about putting stress on the drive train now.

How did you shave the tires?

Gray Brick

A few racing companies offer it as a service.
I Googled "tire shaving"
None of the large tire companies offer it.

$20/tire

I had them take off 5/32"
