I’m still struggling with this one. Focusing strictly on sizes (not brands), it appears the consensus is either 255/60-15 front & 275/60-15 rear or 295/50-15 rear & 235/60-15 front.

What I don’t see is an agreement on which is better for a mixture of in town cruising & semi-spirited back county road driving (no track time).

Does a 255 meander/tramline when cruising?

Does a 235 under steer when pushed around a corner?

Does a 275 induce over steer too easy?

Does a 295 increase NVH?

Or is it all a wash and end up being a “whatever looks best to you” thing?

The tires will go on a Superformance with about 450-500 hp.
