If I moved up to 245/40/18 26.6lbs per tire on the konigs it would be 178lbs total. So question is it worth the extra weight to go to the larger tire, or is a lighter setup better.

for context, this is a track only car, NA for now (maybe next year FI). BBK, Fortune autos 8k fronts, 6k rear (I believe, cant quite remember), stock sway bars. The car has a good bit of oversteer on the 225/45/17s which I realize could probably be toned down with suspension settings, and my own driving habits. But I need new tires any way so just wanted to hear opinions on this one aspect. I know its nit-picky and probably will be fine either way.
What 245 tire are you considering and what is the current 225 tire?
