HI

Before you offer advice there are things you need to know about my driving habits.
I will not be racing it, only a little goosing (low end)

I will not be driving it in the snow or rain, unless l get caught in a sun shower.

lt will be mostly a fair weather garaged vette.

Brand is secondary right now, but the size is important.

The car came with run flats but was changed (past owner) to yoko's front 255's and the backs 285's.

ls this the correct size's or is there a better combination??

l remember somebody mentioned that they have the same size all around!!

Thanks
