I had just got a flat in one of my tires and need to order new ones asap.The thing for me is , i use my car for everyday driving. will the 315's affect the car since i drive everyday, and also i was thinking of going 255's in the front just because i heard that 275's will rub.

youll be fine w/ 315's in the back.... i have 255's up front as well and they dont rub at all... i know you can go 265 in the front and still be ok but ive heard it tracks pretty badly

The 03 Cobras comes from the factory with 275 front tires. I can't see them rubbing. Tracking might be a problem though but it's still better than tires that are too narrow for the wheel. I really hate the look of the 245 I have on 9" wheels. I wouldn't go smaller than 265 on a 9" wheels

Besides road noise and the price of these damn tires, I can't see any downside to daily driving on 315. It will look mean !
