2017 C63 AMG COUPE
To all tire experts
Hello guys I have a 2017 C63 Coupe (W205) and went from a 285/30/19 rear and 255/35/19 front to a 295/30/19 and kept the 255 fronts, but now im going to a 305/30/19 rear ( on OEM Cross spoke wheels ) and my doubt is if I should stick to a 255/35/19 front for even set up ? or should I consider a 265 ? I'm not really sure if the 305/30/19 match the 255/35/19 for an even set up.
any advice will really be appreciated.
Thanx

I am not sure what difference it would make that you could really feel. But I guess depending on what type of performance your looking for.
Straight line I would think the 255 works better because it is lighter and less contact on the ground.
Just my 2 cents...

Tire performance (in multiple categories) will suffer if you run a tire that's too wide for the rim width. Overdoing this too much can also be a safety issue -- e.g., the tire-bead seal may fail under aggressive cornering causing a sudden loss of tire inflation ... likely destroying the tire and rim and maybe more, depending upon where the car ends up as a result.
