You can't run same size tires front and rear, it will throw your TC/AH into a tizzy. Unless you want to run constantly with the TC/AH off, which is not advisable.

I would not run the same size tire front and rear (likely to cause occasional traction control engagement during normal driving), and I would not put a 305/30 on a 10" wide wheel either.

Stick with the 275s.
