Default need tires

I went out and looked at my vette today and to drive it, but the rear driver tire was a little slack and to my sadness a slit in it. I know it cannot be driven that way and I will have to get new tires. I will get a full set but I was wandering about size. My fronts are 275/40ZR17 and my rears are 285/40ZR17. Do these need to stay the same or would it hurt if I made them all the same either 275/285?

You can keep them the way you have it if you want. Those are the sizes I have on mine front and rear.
You can also go with 275 or 285 are around if you want. They'll all fit just fine.
