Default Ratios

So as I understand it...it's too simplistic to say that any given set of tires must have a front to rear ratio to perform well... the jist of what I'd been told was that going to 335's on the rear would cause the car to "push" in turns, wanting to go straighter than a smaller rear tire would. I see your point on diameters, Larry, thanks. I'm just wondering if I could increase the rears to 335 for straight line traction and (given the identical setup) not cause a net loss of decent street cornering manners.... and yes, I understand no such question has a simple answer!

Thanks and ride safely

Dirk
