Different Size Tires

chrischhorn · 03-22-2013, 02:59 PM

Currently I have re970's in front at a 255/45/18 and Re760's in the rear at 275/40 and I honestly don't feel a difference. At the moment until I upgrade to RE-11's, I'm even auto crossing on the set. People are always amazed that I'm running all seasons on front for autocross but they actually handle pretty damn well. Of course I'm still a beginner so as my skills get better, obviously my opinion of the tires will change. The big difference always tends to be when people mix manufacturers and not just different tread patterns. Each company generally builds all their tires with same speed rating the same so staying same company doesn't make the car feel loose. Running a bridge stone w rated tire with a dunlop w rated tire and sidewalls are constructed differently then the car will probably feel unsteady.
