so the 215 is more like a 205, and the 245 is more like a 260:lol:

If this were so, 215/245's would not be a good idea if one was to get different tires, considering the fact that you're probably enhancing front traction dramatically, and rear slightly, which will result in a greater chance of oversteer. Not the best idea i'd say. There are quite a number of people that do this though.

To the people running 215/245 with a different tire, would the rear give out more although you had slightly better traction? In other words, although your tires break point was a little higher than stock, did it seem as if was not?
