what size tire, 265/35/18 or 295/35/18 for front?
Upgading my rims, and curious which tire sizes everyone likes. The car is mainly a street car. Thanks

I would go with the 295's.

Stock is 275. No need to go any bigger for the street.

If your looking at purchasing these give Jon B a call at 360-837-3937. He has the BEST prices than anywhere else.

I agree with Jason .... Go with Jon B. As far as the size is concerned, I have to say that the 295's would probably look better.

Absolutely go with a bigger front, even if you are only using on the street. Viper Days even allows 285's with no points penalties as they help get rid of some of the push with the tiny 275's --- too big for a Vette, but tiny for the Snake. Jon B can steer you right!

The viper front bias allows the smaller fronts to lock up prior to the rears. The Purner setup runs 3.25 X 18 in the front. This eliminates the front lock up. This is about as large as you can get without modification.
