What size front tires to match 295/30/19 rear tires?

[Bluer2]

What size front tires do i need to buy to match 295/30/19 rear? I have a set of spare 265/35/19 right now. Is it 265/35 front okay to match with 295/30 rear?

Not a good idea. Front tire would look thicker than rear tire and your traction control will spazz out b/c the stagger is the opposite for what it should be with front tire taller than the rear tire. You should run 275/30/19 to match with 295/30/19 or 265/35/19 to run with 295/35/19. Furthermore, it will look awkward with a thicker tire up front than rear and raise the front of your car by about 1/4" more than rear.

I'm having that issue now, as I had the same questions about front tire match for the 295/30/19 rear tire to avoid the traction issue, I decided to get 265/30/19 fronts and my MDM mode is spazzing out, I'm not sure if it's a combination of newer tires and 60 to 70 degree inconsistent weather, I'm tuned with pure turbos but I don't remember having this issue with the stock setup

I had some traction control interventions when the F and R stagger went beyond the 20mm stock difference. 255/35/19 F and 285/35/19 R caused TC to kick in unexpectedly once every 500-1000 miles or so. That all went away when I replaced the fronts with 265/35/19s.

However for my 20” rims, I’ve been running a 30mm stagger: 265/30/20 F and 295/30/20 R for about 6 months now and zero issues whatsoever. So YMMV.

In MPS4S (for example) the 265/35/19 is 26.3in and the 295/30/19 is 26.0in. This works if the front is half worn when you put new rears on. The 255/35/19 is 26in from the start.

The 305/30/19 is 26.3in, and matches the front 265/35 well.
