I plan on keeping it staggered and not trying to put money into new wheels.

i'm on stock sport Rays and I love them. thank you for the idea and insight though

the tread pattern on the RE-71 is almost identical to the Star spec 2 it seems.

you can run a 275/35/19 on all 4 stock wheels. A lot of people do that...Mustang guys even fit 295s on 9" wheels.

Yeah, everyone is going to this minimalist tread pattern to allow for longer treadwear with a softer compound

I guess so but i'm just thinking 275 on the fronts seems a bit much but will work.

it's a thought for later. my current RE-11s still got some life. my plan is to see if they'll last until zdayz and then put fresh rubber on for the dragon

275's aren't a bit much for the front. I run 285 square. You need to get 305 square or go home

ha! I've thought about trying to get 305/25 to run, but no good tires available in that size!

I second the 285 square though...Rivals come in that size and those are pretty solid tires
