Just don't run different tires.
There's no possible way you could be off by 20%. That's like having a 30" circumference tire and a 24" circumference tire.

The stock 19" wheels using a 225/40/19 and 255/35/19 have rolling circumference of roughly 26" of which a one percent difference would put you at 25.74". Considering the tread depth of the Potenza S001 RFT is only 10/32 of a an inch or .31", you'd have to have a new tire and an almost bald one to have them more then .26" in circumference difference.
I was being sarcastic. I just burn up my rear tires a lot faster than my front.

And they come from the factory staggered.
