Default Tire Size

Guy in my area has a pair of each
-Bridgestone Potenza 265-40-18
-Goodyear Eagle F1 285-40-18
-Goodyear Eagle F1 275-40-18

They all have about 50-60% tread left. And selling 2 pairs for $250. Which setup do you think would be the best for the street? I was thinking 265 front & 285 Rear? I have saleen 18X9 all around.... Thanks

I have Potenza's in the front, n some ****ty Sumitomo's in the back, i haven't noticed anything bad. Except my ocd is going nuts cuz I want all four to match. Do what you want but I'd say 265's for the front.

I could put 265's all the way around. But I kinda wanted to put some more meat on the road.

I am no great fan of the F1's, but would take them in a heartbeat over the Potenzas
