Message	Currently on my fronts I am running 235/45/17 Falken GR-B FK451's, and on the rear I am running 285/30/18 Michelin Pilot Sports. Obviously with the different tires and width in the back I get a good bit of understeer even in general street driving. I am going to go w/ the Falkens all the way around. I am thinking 245/40/17 on the front and 285/30/18 on the rear. Hopefully this will make my handling slightly more neutral. From my calculations those are as close as I can get to stock diameters on my wheels. Does anyone see any issues w/ this setup? The only thing I am worried about is rubbing on the front, as my car is on coilovers and lowered quite a bit. Input? Later, Matt how about you man up and kill the thing? Then cut it into little pieces and scatter them on the porch as a warning to the other gummy worms not to mess with you. - Spee 00:01:50 06/03/05
