235/40/17, a dying tire size?

Stagger for the lose!

Do 235/40 all the way around.

If I can find a decent price on them (not the $250 a tire a local place quoted me) I'm now considering doing the 245/35/17 Toyo R1R.

Even though its x8 front and x9 rear? Think that will look ok? Want to profiles to look about the same. What say you?

I might do 215/40, 245/35 if you are looking for the "look." Didn't realize you were running a staggered wheel setup.

But there aren't any extreme performance summer tires in those sizes. YOu could do T1Rs which should still be plenty in those sizes.

I'm running square tires on staggered wheels. Best of both worlds.

Z1s will have quite a bit more grip than KDW2s, but the BFGs will last MUCH longer. They wear like bricks.

too late, already bought the z1's. I would've have run square tires but I was afraid the rear would look like it had less rubber compared to the front. Perhaps it would have made up for having so much more fender near it (late model). Oh well.
