and remember the more traction (tire) the better

Cool, One quick thing though...your previous setup, 255/35 (fronts) and 275/30 (rears) were much more noticably different between the two than my 245/35 (fronts) and 275/30 (rears). Eventhough our front are both a 35 series tire it is an aspect ratio of the 1st number so your sidewall height (on the 255/35's) is even greater than my 245/35 (fronts).

The difference between your front and rears was probably closer to 3/4-1" overall difference.

If mine was that bad, yes, I would switch them out too. But I'll throw them on and I'm sure they'll be fine. Thanks for your input!
