4 Weeks old today and I have a brake squele at low speed when stopping, she sounds like a dust cart,.
I see you have the M-sport model, which will have a 'staggered' wheel set, with wider rims on the rear. Rear tyres are not smaller, but have a lower aspect ratio which keep the RC to very similar figures, front and rear.

Brochure shows:
17" wheel set are: 225/45 R17 front and 245/40 R17 rear
18" wheel set are: 225/40 R18 front and 245/35 R18 rear
