i dont know much about tire sizes and how they affect the ride of your car, but im planning on getting 18" chrome saleens in the next month or two and was looking around for what kind of tires to get. i was looking at the continental contisportcompact 2's [front: 245/255's rear: 295's], the goodyear eagle f1 gs-d3's [front: 245/255's rear: 285's (highest they go)] and the michelin pilot sport's [front: 245/255's rear: 285's (highest they go too)] ...maybe the nitto's as well because they are pretty cheap [front: 245/255's rear: 295/305's)
now im curious to how much the size of the tire matters performance wise on the fronts or if it is just for looks to save a few bucks & how much of a difference 285 to 295 would be appearance wise (in case i go w/ the goodyear's or michelin's)? right now i am stuck on the goodyear's because they are a reasonable price and seem to do well on the reviews...and maybe the continental's as well b/c i have some on right now & i cant complain although they are the all season tires instead of the contisportcompact 2's...
and also sorry to be a n00b on tire dimensions, but what exactly does the middle numbers represent (295/xxYR18)? ive seen them range from 30 to 45 when searching for tires, and i wasnt sure if i need specific ones for the front & specific ones for the back?
if any of yall have any advice on the tire selections or can help me out w/ any of my questions id appreciate it!
