    I hated my 275s up front because they followed these shitty roads like crazy, felt like torque steer lol.

        275 or go home! I've had 275s on mine since I got my rims - even with the v6. Love it. Yeah they follow the road a bit but it's not that bad.

              Suck it up ladies....both hands on the wheel at 10 and 2 or hit the gym if you can't control your ride!!!

              275 35s are just fine....295 35s out back is a good look. Trust me....I'm a doctor.

                  I'm saving up for mine. . . I have wheels from the same manufacturer on my 'bird, and the tires I have need replaced badly. . . I'm holding out for at LEAST a pair of 295's out back, preferably 305's or 315's, and 275's out front. I'm going to buy the tires one or two at a time, then get them all mounted when I have them. It's easier to swallow spending $150-$250 for a tire than spending $800-$1000 on a set of tires. I guess that's just how I buy stuff for my car, being a broke-ass all the time. lol

                    I just did some looking around on TireRack, a single BFG KDW2 in 295/35 18 is only $211. The BFG KDW Drag Radial in 315/30 is $292, the KDW2 is not available in that size. . . That's $160 savings by going with the smaller tire, which is still a helluva lot of tire out back.

                            big freaking hammer... to run a 300 series tire you have to hammer the inner wheel well to prevent the tire from rubbing

                              Actually, you might be able to get away with a 305 if it isn't lowered.

                              And would a 295/45 zr18 look stupid with a street tire? Would be just a hair over 28" tall.

                                my 165s look great up front lol, I really think 275s are a little big up there, mine rubbed on stock wheels and tire sizes.
