can't be a whole lot different than 275's (1/2") all around, as stock on a 92. Went to 8.5's in the front w/ 245s and find the car doesn't grab freeway ruts as easy, and the wheel turns smoother during slow turns.

How 'bout this: Is anybody running 275's all around ala the Z07? If I have to replace the rears, I'm almost sure it won't be with 315's again. I like the 275's a lot and I'm a real big fan of running the same tires on all 4 corners for the obvious economical reasons.
on edit: will it look too low profile?

I'm in the process of trading my 96 Imp SS for a 92 C4 LT1 Black/Black 6 speed coupe. It has 275's all around, drove it about 10 miles last night and it seemed just like my 93 LT1 Auto coupe with 255's on front and 275's on the rear.
Haven't driven the 93 for about 7 months due to fixing it up and replacing the heater core. It was nice to drive a C4 again. Imp's nice but it's not a C4!

275's all around on 9.5" rims for my '95. I would love to have 285's all around but there aren't many manufactuers for them and the ones found cost significantly more.
So I'll take my $110.00 Falken 275/40-17's and be happy.
