Hi,

I noticed that the factory recommended tire sizes are:

335-30-18 overall diameter 25.95 Rear
245-35-18 overall diameter 24.75 Front

so there is almost an inch and quarter difference in diameter front to back.

I am assuming this is intentional for optimizing the suspension setup.

The factory also shows an optional tire for the rear as follows:

295-30-18 overall diameter 24.79 Rear optional

Which is the same diameter front to back.

So the question - which setup is the best - same overall diameter or different diameters???

Thanks

I've had BFG's and Goodyears on mine. The BFG fronts were a little taller that factory ones 235/40 or 45 x 17, can't remember which. I didn't notice any difference due to the height. But the factory spec Goodyears have much more grip in all directions.
