295 vs. 315 on 22's ---HELP

Hi everyone...need some advice on tires for my PTT. I currently have 265-30-22's on the front and 315-25-22's on the rear riding on Pirelli tires. I need new fronts so decided to replace them all but problem is I can't find another set of matching tires other then the Pirelli Nero GT's in that size.

One option is to go from 315-25's in the rear to 295-25's which opens up more options including the Continental EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 all the way around.

I like the wide stance of the 315's and wanted to get feedback before I pull the trigger on the tires. Will there be a big difference in the look dropping to the 295's? The thing I don't like is I'll lose height on the already small sidewall since these will be mounted on my 11" wide rims.

As always I appreciate any input!

Thanks for the reply and if I get these tires I'll post a before and after rear view pic. The guy at Discount tire said these tires are much better then the Nero GT's....especially for Michigan.

I decided to stick with the Pirelli 315's for the rear.....my brother in law is hooking me up at cost so can't pass that up.

You have to look at the ratio of circumference difference at least in my awd turbo so the diffs don't freak out

I hate to be the one to say it, but you are driving a very expensive car.. Replace all four. Your only contact to the street is these four points. Don't skimp here.

Hi, yeah I always planned to replace all four I was just looking into the option of dropping down from a 315 25 rear to a 295 25. Discount tire and Belle Tire quoted me $2100 for Pirelli PZero GT 265 30 22's front and 315 25 22 rears and my brother in law's cost to me delivered was $1450 so tires are enroute.....Thanks
