Asuming stock rims, and no suspension lowering or raising, I've been told that the front and rear tires can be replaced with larger sizes as follows:
rear=255/45/18, front=is it 255/35/18 or 245/40/18?


Sorry guys, these Goodyear Eagle F1's are really calling my name.

Yeah,

I have been looking at the Eagle F1 one tires as well.

Thanks for doing the legwork for me, since I have not had a chance yet. My buddy has those on his 'stang and ride, handling and look are awesome !

darebren--be careful if you have traction control--it is VERY sensitive to difference in rolling cir***ference between the front and rear tires--with almost worn out Goodyear Eagles on the rear wheels and brand new Michelins on the front, my '99 GM with traction control shut down 6 times while accelerating , cruising and deceleration--no cut-off switch-soooo--new Michelins on the back solved the problem ??????????
