I'm not sure what cossie is talking about on the lower aspect ratio in the back -- the shorter sidewall should mean less flex and therefore more responsive cornering but possibly harsher vibration in a straight line, so maybe that's it?

Curiously, no diameter info is provided for the 245/40/19's on the Tire Rack site (see link above), although the calculator gives the same number as Tire Rack for the 245/35 and 295/30 tires

If the front is wider than the rear (whether or not yours actually is), I think that would bias the car towards oversteer rather than pushing -- no?

I think I'm going with these tires next and just need to decide on either OEM dimesnions or go with the 245/35 F and 295/30 R.

Thanks for the input
