^^those^^

now i need tires. i only have $400 left over but I can get front ones that way I dont have long before I can get the rears..

now Im pretty sure on getting these in the rear..

but i dont know what i should do about fronts. should i get the same up front?? in 265's? i was more on the lines of getting 255's..but then i would have to get these..

so what im asking is, would those look right if i did 2 different tread styles in the front and back?? or should i get the same in 265's up front

 

[jmk97GT]

Take it from me, I got 275's all around and while I like how it rides and grips, it doesn't quite look perfect. Get considerably larger tires in the back...255s front and 275s back AT LEAST.

im getting 315's out back..

ambo told me to go 265's up front instead of 255's...

maybe ill do that and have the same tread all around..

 

[Bluffing024]

Thats what I did. KDW2s with 265s in front and 295s out back.

 

[XxMustang281xX]

does it stick out any more than it should in the front with 265's?

 

[san~man]

Why not get KDW2's? I'd run those before those Falkens.

 

[XxMustang281xX]

do they make 315's?? i dont think they do. if they do, link please.

 

[Twista]

get the smallest you can for the front. I personally run 245's on my front with 275s on back. I use to run 275's on all four, but i changed when i had to switch tires.

 

[XxMustang281xX]

ok thats what i thought at first. but now peoples telling me 265's instead of 255's. so i dunno. input people??

 

[tjmaxx]

Im running those Falkens in 255 up front on my 18 inch Saleen rims and they are awesome. I will probably go 315 out back in the Falkens when I need new tires.

 

[XxMustang281xX]

which ones? the first link posted or 2nd?

 

[fatboy02gt]

i have 245 bfg g force sports on saleen 18x9s on the front of my car and love it...it doesnt follow road crown or the ruts as bad as cars that i have driven with larger front tires.

 

[urban96]

i have 275's up front and it tracks the road A LOT more than 255's. gets kinda annoying sometimes. i would recomend 245 or 255

I just put on 275/35/18 and 295/35/18 KDW2s. I'm in love with em. Thats what you should get.

Previously had 265/35/18 KDW1s and 275/35/18 Mich Pilot Sports. The KDW2s are way way way way way better and the 275s dont track any more than the 265s.

IMO you dont want to go too fat at the rear and too skinny on the front just because of tracking grooves in the roads. Your car is very front heavy - your asking for tons of understeer when cornering heavily if you use a tire much skinnier than the rears. Just my 0.02.

 

[XxMustang281xX]

i think ill go 265's since there's mixed opinions.

 

[mransr]

I have 275 all around...I find it drives a lot better than when I had 255's in front and 275 in the rear

I have to agree with you, I'm running 285's all the way around and the way the car rides and handles is incredible. Love hitting the curves at speed and having it stick. Don't get me wrong I love the stagered look but our car is a daily driver so I like being able to rotate the wheels on a regular bases.

265/35/18 in the front is perfect and 295/35/18 or 315/30/18 in the rear will fit right.

run some cheap tires up front. i paid $206for a pair of 365/35/18 Nexen N3000's. they are good tires for the money. your rear ones are the ones that do all the work anyways
