Those sizes will maintain the stock overall tire diameter. I assume that the rear will be 285/35 NOT 285/13.
I strongly recommend that you put the same size tires all the way around.
You cannot rotate if they are different.
I have Kuhmo Ecsta Supra (Nittos are much better grippers BTW but the Kuhmos last longer)
245/40/ZR18s on the front and 275/35/ZR18s in the back.I'll never do it again. Not being able to rotate the tires has been anl expensive venture.

98 Cobra Drop TopMy bad, i meant 285/35. what about 265/35 front instead of 275/35, would that do a big deal or it's just lil smaller ? thanks

Just a little smaller. 25.3 vs. 25.6 inch diameter.
Rotate???? YUCK!!!
I had staggered sizes on my fiero and LOVED IT =) Hell even on the Kia, which I almost never ever drive anymore, I don't ever rotate the tires.
Balance, sure. Rotate? No.
Reason? Rotating the tires does only 1 thing for you. Distribute wear across all 4 tires. So really its your choice....
Do you want to buy 4 tires at a time....or 2 tires at a time? That really is what it comes down to. There is no other "benefit" to rotating the tires.

2001 Yamaha YZF-R6Hey, whatever floats your boat. I prefer 4 at a time and to know that I have the same grip in the front as I have in the back.

Funny how computer-atin can do that to an otherwise perfectly normal human being. When hubs used to work night I would do it now and then, now that he's underfoot all day and night, it's impossible. I liked to stay up late and just play. Sometimes with new software, other times with graphics and now and again with a game.
Back in the EARLY days when IRC was new and hot I would spend hours on end yakking with friends I made around the world. That was pretty cool.

is that when you got your crack habit
hurc ast
And hey when I see a mustang on the dyno being tuned by my software, putting out over 400hp, all the work is well worth it =)
