Assuming 19" wheels, that should work but 245 would be better.

255/35 and 275/35 is actually the BEST combo (ie closest to stock height) and helps add a little protection if you're running a 9.5/10.5 combo (I'm actually running a 285/35 in the rear right now though)

I agree with bwzabodyn. A 255/275 combo is better than a 245/275 combo. Less understeer, tire diameters matched with stock diameters, and more protection for the rim. I recently upgraded to 255's in the front, and I like both the look and handling much better. I guess the problem comes in finding a 255/35/19 tire. Those can be pretty rare.

So Toyo makes a 255/35/19 now? Nice. But why the heck haven't they added the 255/40/18 yet? I would've gotten another set of T1-Ses rather than the more expensive S-03s if that were the case.
