Exactly that! 245/35/19 595SS's on the Front and 275/30/19 Invo's on the rear. Given the option I would go 245/30/19 on the front next time as the 35's are a slighly larger rolling dia than the rear. Not enough that it affects performance just enough that its noticeable looking at the car side on.

Plus the Invo's have a very small shoulder that makes them look smaller. I wasn't that impressed with the Invo's at first but I've found they like to be inflated a touch higher than I normally would expect (currently running 42psi) and that greatly improved grip.

It might be different with 20's but I sized up some tyres for rolling diameter and 245/35/20 where the same as 285/30/20. But also noticed different brands seem to vary in size. I've had sumi's, Yokohama and Bridgestone and they all seem to different even in the same size.

Booked for some more KU31's on the rear... $175ea fitted/balanced, just too easy a choice.

Invos going strong on the fronts though, tread holding up nicely so far even with my love of Reid Hwy corner when passing Tonkin lights on the way home.

ps cruise thread going up now, depends on weather though!

hahaha love that corner Steve, what can you take it at? It's about 1 minute from where I live

I'm sure it's no more than 80, as that's the limit in the area... ;)

Too busy looking ahead. Maybe with new rears I'll feel like glancing down but tired stock suspension won't help me much I wager!

But yes < 80. Usually FAR less due to the thousands of people who change lanes at last minute after racing up the right hand side instead of merging in the 1km prior. RAGE

I'd like to say that I am loving the Toyo Proxes 4's that I have on the front at the moment. 245/30/19.

I've read some bad things about them in the wet, but I haven't had an issue.
