Oh okay, makes sense... hmm �� Now I see what you're saying, Sorry for the ignorance, so 40front and 35 rear is the best bet. I'm on lowering springs I believe it's a 1.2 in drop in the rear and 1.0 in in the front, what all season tires do you recommend ?

it's just harder finding wider section width tires (285,295,305,315etc..) in a 40series all season.
Michelin A/S 3+ offer's a 255/45 & 285/40,,,but not sure if that's wide enough for you & they are 27" tall...you mentioned you were lowered.

What is the biggest size I could fit in the front you seem to know a lot and I am not sure about anything I have stock 18s rims and tires I am thinking 255/45 front and 275/40 rear or will the 285/40 rear fit?
