Hi, Small tires up front and large tires in the back do not mean that the car will turn worst then a Prius! IT depends on the car’s need... Check out the Ferrari Enzo for example: FRONT 245/35 ZR19 – REAR 345/35 ZR19 !! And I am pretty sure it handles pretty well ![]() But I agree with you and most of the others that you should not stretch a tire beyond its recommendation. A therefore, I do not suggest going with tires that require rims of 10.5” if you have the stock wheels. ...I won’t ! Too bad I can't find 305's that fit on 10" wheels... ![]()

Thats exactly what he is saying, the car needs larger tires in the front as it already understeers with 30mm difference between them. So by making the difference front to rear larger by going bigger in the rear and staying the same in the front your going to have more understeer.
