Default Tire %

Good evening...what is the % in overall diameter difference of the front and rear tires which will affect the handling systems? Looking at 305/30/19 Invos out back and 245/40/18 Invos in the front. Or could someone suggest the size of the front tire to match the rear 305's?

I would make sure that the numbers line up with the OE Goodyear tires. Not all tires of the same size appear to be the same diameter.

Just compare different tires of the same size on the tirerack website.

Thank you for your replies...finally after a half bottle of Scotch I found the what percent the front to rear ratio is before you upset the nannnies which is 3%. If all info is correct then I can run a stock size front Invo with a 305/30/19 Invo out back.
