tires
ORIGINAL: nanaki
he's right. i have 275 all around on my car. 2 Nittos on the rear and 2 Kumhos on the front. the car pulls and is very touchy and sensitive when you turn the wheel. stay with 245 on the front.
only reason i did it was to be a cheapass. i wanted new rear tires but needed front ones. so i bought DRs for the rear and put my old rear street tires on the front. big mistake.

275's all round is a bad idea...

the reason your steeringis touchy is because the 275's all the way around are very responsive. yes they do tend to track abit on highway grooves made by trafic but nothing that is untolerable.
using 245's in the front and 275's in the back eliminates and chances of proper rotation and handles worse that just running 245's on all fours or 275's on all fours. my cars tended to plow (understeer) on the track using 245's in the front and 275's in the back.
275's all the way around made the car extremely easy to throw around the track because of the predictability of zero understeer and very little oversteer.
if your car tracks or wanders too much with 275's you either need alittle wider rim and or adjust the camber/castor or switch to urethane bushings
another reason you have that problem is using 2 different brands of tires. Kuhmo's are alot harder compound than the nittos and the tread design is different. it would be like running V6 struts in the front and MACHI struts in the rear
