Another Tire Question

tah94stang · 09-25-2005, 06:43 AM

Alright everyone I have 17X9 Cobra R/s that need tires badly. At present I have on the front 245 Goodyears and the rear has 275 falkens. I hate the noise that Falken tires make. Too load. Good years on the front look too small for the rims. So my question is what size and tire make look the best on the cobra R/s. I am looking at the Sumitomo brand. What is the widest size I can safely put on the rear? What size should I go with on the front? Thanks for your help.

Since your rims are all 17x9 I would put the same size tire all the way around so they can be rotated to make your tires last alot longer.275/40/17's would be my choice.

Won't there be a rubbing issue on the front with the 275's?
