Putting new tires on the GXP, don't really have the extra money to stagger with the 255/45, 225/50 setup. Pirelli has some 235/50r18s that are dirt cheap and I'm considering running these on all 4 wheels. Does anyone see any issues with that other than the understeer potential?
Other tire options are a 245/45r18 on the front and then go with the 235/50r18 on the rear, cost difference is minimal. The 255/45s are just too expensive.
With the 245 setup I would lose .8 total inches on the front width compared to 255s, going 235 doubles that to 1.6 inches total. Seems like .8 inches wouldn't cause too much understeer...
Thoughts?
