I've ran 305/35 555r's in the rear for 3 years now.. but I am in need of a new set. I have 275/35 555's up front so I am going back with the R's in the rear..

I know ppl have ran the 335/30 on 10.5" reps with no problem.. So I know I can too with my 11" TF wheels... but is it worth the cost?

Does anyone know the weight difference in the two tires?(this is my biggest selling point) .. Would it be worth going to the wider tire? The 305/35 looks fine and is alittle cheaper

But the 335/30 would fill out the wheel with a slight bulge like the fronts look and would match the fronts height nearly perfect...

Thoughts?

I'm not a fan of tire buldge so i'd stick with the 305's. With that said, how is traction with them at your power level?

I ran same tires and 275-35 up front with 335-30 rear, after running the 305s. The 335s look way better!

Do the 305's hook now? I would stick with the 305's. Not sure how much more the 335's would weigh but I bet it is substantial. I too think the taller sidewall height would be better.
