Are you getting street tires? Do you race your car? I'm getting 275/40/17 all around on my stang this week, not by choice though...only because my new rims are shipping with the tires for a great deal. I would put 275/40/17 DRs in the back and 245/45/17 streets in the front. But that's just me, because I'm putting 4.10s in soon and I want the traction.

Well I'm not saying you should get diff sizes on the front and back, that's me, it depends on what you want. More meat in the back is better for taking hold of that dang ground A buddy of mine has Toyos on his daily driver and he loves them. BTW, what size rims are you getting, or are you still deciding that as well?

Saleen uses 295 in the rear as an option otherwise its 245 all the way around. at least that was the case in 1998. i have 295's in back
