Welcome to the forum
If you want your AWD transmission to last I suggest you change the front tires to match the rears.
Since you're running 255/40/18 on the back, then changing fronts to 225/45/18 would make the rolling diameter OD the same on all 4 wheels.
You may get away with 225/45/18 in the front depending on the offset and if you’re lowered. Having said that the taller tires may slightly rub inside the fender liner at full turn. This could be fixed by using a heat gun and by pushing the plastic liner in.
Good luck and keep us posted.
