Default Tire Help Its me again.

I alway get this mixed up and I can't find my saved email from Frank. I'm going with 335 x18 in the rear and 245 x 18 in the front. But i'm not sure about the side wall. is it 30,35,or 40? I want a matching profile front and rear.

generally a 35 front matches well with a 30 rear.
although some guys run 40 fronts, i like 35 front/30 rear

This is what I prefer:

245/40/18 @ 25.7"

335/30/18 @ 25.9"

Or in my case
315/30/18 @ 25.5"

The 335 / 30 / 18 and 245 / 40 / 18 combo is what we sell Mark.

The front tires have a 9.6" section width, put them on 8" wheels. The rear tires have a 13.6 section, put them on a 12" wheels and you will have equal height and equal tire buldge front and rear.

You can also go with a 245/35/18 front with the 335/30/18 rear.
(just thought I'd throw another combo at you to confuse you)
