staggering my tires
i kno all about how pple stagger their tires to different widths for gripping and looks, but i was wondering if staggering the treads would affect the outcome of my vehicle. i was looking at bfgoodrich tires and i noticed a slight similarity in tread design with the gforce drag radials and the gforce t/a kdws. i was wondering if i put the drags on the rear and the t/a's on the front if this was going to be a bad idea.
....I see no problems, but talk to Jazzer in the Tire Section!

as long as you dont get rubbing you'll be ok, however the other thing you'll want to watch out for is if you go wider you need a corresponding aspect ratio (center tire number) that will give the tire the same stock height. For instance, going from a 235/45R17 to a 245/45R17 will result in a slightly taller tire and will throw off your speedometer. As long as you get that down and theres no rubbing you'll be good to go
And welcome to the board! I just got here myself haha
