Default New 19/20 tires...?

I have a set of 19x9.5 / 20x10.5 Cray Scorpions on my baby and this year has been a doozy on my tires. I am looking at getting some new tires soon. It is an A6 so I want to keep the sizing as close to stock as possible, and the whole ratio profile number confuses me.

-I would like to have 305s in back and 255s in front. What profile size? 30? 35?

I currently have 285s rear and 245s front.

I am also wondering if it would be bad or damaging if I were to put different tires from front to back?

Thanks!!

I think most use 265/30-19 & 305/25-20. Best to do some online research.

You can play with different sizes here..

In my case I wanted tires that would give about 1.1 " more diameter back than front to keep stock difference the same. Anyway fun to play with.

f.y.i. their spelling on that site is worse than mine, and i spell horrible.. lol
