i got some tires las week 2 225/55/16zr bridgestone potenza and some 225/60/16zr firestone firehawk all 4 for 200dlls brand new ( closing tire store) im thinking in putting the 225/55 in the front and the 225/60 in the rear.

will i have any improvements on handling or it will cause problems?
 
Well sometimes the insurance companies will throw a fit if you are using different size tires front and rear if the car didn't come like that. not to mention that wide tires in front and skinny in the back promotes oversteer and wide tires in the back and skinny in the front will promote understeer
 
tire size

I Use 255/55/16 just for looks, but I don,t go diving into the corners. BTW STOCK IN FRONT ONLY. ...................FAST FREDDIE:cool: :cool:
 
Your ABS probably won't like it either, since the front wheels will be turning about 4% faster than the rears.

Use the 225-60-16 all around for best results.
