I 'm running the same size in the rear as you but I have 265/40zr18's in the front. I'm not sure why, but that's the way I bought the car. Anyone know why a taller tire in the front?<br /> <br /> <small>[ August 06, 2002, 10:51 PM: Message edited by: Ruben ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>98Snake</b> <br /><small>Member # 183</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,7,7,14,6,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I just bought 2 new tires yesterday, and I went with the Nitto 555's, 285/40/17. I checked the Pirellis and they had a treadwear rating of only 180 or so, which explains the short lifespan. The Nitto's have a 300 rating, and I have 17000 miles on the front tires and they still have about half the tread left. The only bad news is that I just checked and the widest 18" nitto was 285. Another good tire is the BFG KDW, which is around the same price as the Nitto's.<br /> <br /> <small>[ August 07, 2002, 02:41 PM: Message edited by: 98Snake ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
