    Has anyone put the same size tires all around on a '08 GXP? The fronts are now 255/45zr18 on factory 8" rims. Why not the same tire on the rear 7" rims?

    Or, is there a 50 series or 55 series that would give better ride quality?

    255 is a bit much on a 7" rim. I have 245s on 7" and id say that's about the limit unless you have plenty of sidewall.

    245/45/18 is the size to run all 4 corners. But I would find 2 more 8in rear wheels so you can do real rotates.
