Front tire sizes if I'm running 305 rears?

mjr24 · 08-16-2015, 08:30 PM

It's about time for new tires.....

I know 305/30/20 is quite popular as they give more traction (this is on stock rims).

Do I have to run a 275 on the fronts if I run the 305s in the back? Or can I still run the stock 265s in front?

I have 265 on front and 305 on rear with no issue. As you said better traction and more aggressive look. 275 on front will make the steering wheel heavier and I believe will slightly change the camber... So I do not recommend it

Solid, thanks brother.....I keep the steering on sport plus so it's already heavy enough as is.
