Exclamation i need your opinion

New Question, Vote what size tire would be BEST for my front tires?
keep in mind i want to keep the computer happy, and avoid problems. please tell me the pros and cons like will i have MAJOR oversteer or understeer.

car is not going to see the track.... unless its a drag or spririted driving..lol..

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP GUYS,



ok guys im looking for some front tires for my wheels, and im stuck between 3 sizes,

my rears are 305/25/20 = 26.00 diameter - .25 less than stock (26.25)

fronts sizes im looking at are,
235/30/20 = 25.55 diameter - .30 less than stock (25.85)
245/30/20 = 25.78 diameter - .07 less than stock (25.85)
255/30/20 = 26.02 diameter - + .17 over stock (25.85)

ok so the stagger of stock is (26.25 - 25.85) .40 .
so since my rears are already 26.00 diameter even then i need a front tire that is 25.60 diameter ok i established that.

im leaning towards 235/30/20 since its the closest possible to stock with my rears already, BUT what are the cons to having a big difference in width between the rear and the front.
what problems will i have?
any input is helpfull, thank you

With that kind of size diff from front to back it may over steer badly and it will look goofy as well.

well technically its not suitable, but ive seen guys run the same tire size on all FOUR wheels, and well 0.02 is not that much of a difference in diameter..... is it??????
is the computer that sensitive???
