Going square is an option, but at that point you are choosing handling balance over total grip, which in theory should make you slower, not faster (all things being equal).

Fortunately the Michelin PSS is available in 245/35-18. That may not be the ultimate, and as you say choices are sparse, but it is a good one and that is what I have with a 225/40 front. The swap improved the ride and reduced noise. The scary thing is if I trash one of those rear tires away from a big city it will take at least two days to get a new one.
