Most say 265 front and 275 rear...

More up front you run into rubbing and more in the rear and it goes to mush on the corners.

I run 275 40's out back with no issues and much love. Left the 245's up front. Good combo for me.

Plenty of hits willbe had using the search function or browsing cadillacfaq as well.

You mean 245's up front! 275's don't typically bulge unless they run extra wide like Goodyear GSD3's.

They work great though

Im rockin dunlop sp01's, 275/35 rear and 245/40 up front....the fit looks just right to me. I think the 275/40 looks too big. But to each his own..

245/45 in front and 285/35s in rear michelin pilots not to much bulging, but if i had the choice i would have went 275s i just couldnt turn down $100 for 2 new michelin pilot sports thank you craigslist! Every since changing from the 245s tire spin is a thing of the past.
