Default Quick Question on salad shooters

I recently purchased nitto 555dr's, 245/50/r16 for the back wheels (using salad shooters all around). What size/brand tire do you guys recommend for the front. Car also has no power steering or front sway bar. 205/50/r16, 225,50/r16, 245/50/r16? what seems to work best.

245s all around are what most people run, if your going to the track often then I guess id get skinnies. Why would you want a smaller size tire up front for ur weekend car or street car? What would be the purpose I mean?

I thought it might be a little easier to steer with a slightly smaller tire up front... But if its not gunna make a difference then i will just get the 245.
