315 35 17 and 275 40 17 The fronts I have on there now are the ones I bought at a local tire shop when I had a tire problem the last time I was at Sebring. The contact patch of the current fronts is over an inch narrower than the tires I had before and they are a harder compound. I decided to try more air pressure than I had in the pics you saw from Palm Beach International where it looked like the tire was rolling on the rim. It helped a lot! The wider more square DOT R tires don't seem to need as much air pressure as the the more street oriented performance tire.

I'm considering the new Goodyear Eagle RS DOT R tires to replace the temporary fronts I have now.
