Default Anyone ever try 255/55's on front?
Gonna have to make do with a set of used tires to get me by until after xmas (sad I know).
I picked up some 255/55's for the front and 235/55's for the back ($75 for all 4), just wondering if I am going to run into any problems.
Also I want to make sure I get this tire wear problem straightened out before I buy another new set of back tires.

Those tires prolly came from a small SUV. I wish you good luck, but I think the outcome is not good.
