Default Tire size

I will need to replace the tires on my 2007 base in the nextfew months. It has Invo Nitto on it fromwhen I purchased it - front 255/40ZR18 99W and rear 305/30ZR19 102Y. Since I don’t know much about tire size,should I keep these sizes when I replace them or go with somethingdifferent? I am pretty sure I will staywith this brand.

Standard tires on a new 2007 base are P245/40ZR18 for the front and P285/35ZR19 for the rear. Not sure why your current tires are different than that.

The bigger your tires, the more they are going to grab all of the "features" in the road causing your car to hop around more.
