LRS sells them as a kit with 275 35 zr19 on all 4 corners but I am not sure if he purchased a package or not.

They also sell a package deal with 255/40/19 front and 275/40/19 rear using Falken F452 tires.

The Nitto Package will have 275 all the way around.

Wouldn't 275's seriously impair handling? I have the good old factory 235s so that is quite a difference.

My handling now over the stock 245's is so superior in every way. So far, I see no downside. This baby is set and planted. I'm sure the different compound tires make most of the difference though.
